Summary
SUBARU
OF AMERICA, INC. has determined that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Subaru vehicles listed above, equipped with a non-desiccated Takata-sourced passenger side frontal airbag containing the propellant Phase Stabilized Ammonium Nitrate (PSAN). This phase of the Takata recall expansion includes all remaining vehicles equipped with a non-desciccated Takata-sourced passenger side frontal air bag containing the propellant PSAN. Recall Codes TKA-19-TKB-19-TKC-19
TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE CAREFUL TO NOT CUT THE 2 WIRES!
STEP 5- Short the yellow and red wires together by installing the Electro-Tap connector. The
connector creates a short circuit which acts as a safeguard to prevent against static discharge that may
deploy the removed inflator. The tab portion of the Electro-Tap connector MUST be cut off prior to
use to insure a good short-circuit is made as shown in the illustration below. Follow the sequence
below for installing the Electro-Tap connector. Use pliers to squeeze closed the two sections of the
connector together, one section at a time.

STEP 11- Reinstall the original stopper plate and the 5 NEW self-locking nuts. SLOWLY tighten (to
prevent over-tightening) then torque the nuts to 31-38 inch-pounds. When complete, use a marker to
indicate they have been fully tightened.
STEP 12- Peel the white dust cover from the d-shaped end of the new inflator. The new inflator
wiring harness has 2 “sides” with round 2-pin connectors on both ends. The “short” side with the
yellow tape and red / yellow wires will connect to the end of the inflator with the D-Shaped wiring
harness connector boss as shown below. Peel the white dust cover from the D-Shaped end of the
inflator ONLY.
IMPORTANT: NEVER PEEL BOTH THE WHITE DUST COVERS OFF AT THE SAME
TIME!
CAREFULLY align the pins of the inflator with the female terminals of the harness connector (red /
yellow wires) end as shown in the photos below. Once pin alignment is confirmed, push down firmly
to engage the connector’s 3 locking tangs into the locking groove inside the connector boss. Confirm
the connector is locked by prying up LIGHTLY with a small flat-blade screwdriver. Repeat the
procedure on the opposite “long” side with the blue / white wires. When complete, refit the harness
cover tube back into the mounting brackets.

routed as shown in the “New Harness Properly Installed” photo below.
STEP 13- Refit the airbag module to the instrument panel.
STEP 14- Reinstall the instrument panel assembly into the vehicle in reverse order of disassembly.
Once the negative battery cable has been reconnected, turn the ignition key “ON” and confirm the
AIRBAG warning light comes on then cycles off properly. Once proper warning light operation is
confirmed, reinstall the remaining components and reset the radio station presets (and Navigation
favorites where applicable) to complete the procedure.
STEP 15- If not already done, place the removed original air bag inflator in the “cradle” of the
Kit Box insert, with a completed SOA warranty parts tag (MSA5W402A) attached to it. The tag
must contain the following information: Claim Number, Repair Date, 17-digit VIN, and vehicle
mileage. Refer to the “PART RETURN PROCEDURES” section of this bulletin for further return
shipping instructions and information. Ensure both the removed and installed inflator serial
numbers have been recorded correctly as previously instructed on the repair order hard copy
