Service bulletin WQR 53A
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
As previously announced, Subaru will be conducting a recall of certain 2004?2005MY Subaru Impreza (including WRX/STI) vehicles. The air bag inflators in the front passenger air bags for these vehicles could be susceptible to rupture and the front passenger air bag could deploy abnormally in a crash. WQR?53 is a geographic expansion of the current WQP?51 limited regional G1recall, to a national recall for Impreza models only. Details of the transition from WQP?51 to WQR?53 for the Impreza models are listed below.
