1995 SUBARU LEGACY — Complaint #393489

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about CHILD SEAT:HARNESS/CROTCH BUCKLE filed February 11, 2003

NHTSA complaint #393489 (ODI reference 10006308) concerns a 1995 SUBARU LEGACY and was filed on February 11, 2003. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as child seat:harness/crotch buckle, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same SUBARU LEGACY cohort independently describe similar child seat:harness/crotch buckle failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1995 SUBARU LEGACY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
