2021 Subaru Crosstrek Airbags Problems

During a rear-end collision on the highway, your airbags failed to deploy even though the impact was significant enough to total the vehicle. Your front seat headrest broke off completely, and both front seats reclined backward during the crash. The seatbelts in the occupied front seats did not lock, though the seatbelts in the unoccupied rear seats did engage. A technician will need to inspect the airbag control module, seat belt pre-tensioners, and seat reclining mechanisms to determine why the safety systems failed to activate.

Your car's passenger airbag system is showing an "OFF" status on the dashboard even when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. This means the airbag may not deploy properly in a crash when it should. A technician will need to diagnose the occupancy sensor that detects whether the seat is occupied.
