Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Other (occupant restraint system) as the affected component. This filing is one of 16 Subaru notifications from 2017 in this archive. For scale, 825 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 8 months.
Defect
The owner's manual omits the seat-position compatibility table for i-Size child seats, causing non-compliance with Safety Standards Article 22-3, Detailed Regulations Article 30 (UN Regulation No. 16, 06 series of amendments). There is no functional defect in the child seat anchorage system itself.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the owner's manual with a revised version that includes the i-Size child seat seat-position compatibility table.
