Do I think something would happen? No. But if it did... not only would someone be dead, but we could be on the hook for manslaughter. Sorry, but I'd rather sit in the back seat, or trade the car in (with written disclaimer that the recall had not yet been completed because of local availability), than risk being held responsible for a reckless decision counter to Subaru's recall statement. I blame Subaru for this, and am quite upset. Takata recalls started way back in 2008, why the hell Subaru put a faulty airbag into a 2014 production car blows me away. I know Subaru was not the only brand that did it, but Subaru was the only brand that affected my life.
They intentionally make it an exclusive club, for sure. The price would be better, but only because there's more demand than availability. They keep things limited to keep the price high. And I don't mind it too much, because resale value will be pretty darn good.
