Owners of a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/outback">2010 Subaru Outback</a> or <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/legacy">Legacy</a> equipped with a CVT transmission may need to make an unscheduled visit to their <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/subaru">Subaru</a> dealer due to a new recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall of 29,443 Legacy and Outback models for a crack that can occur in the CVT cooler hose that could result in a fluid leak. The only vehicles affected by the recall are the ones built between July 31 and December 1, 2009.<br />
<br />
The NHTSA website states that Subaru didn't provide any safety consequences for this recall, but we're thinking a CVT fluid leak could lead to a damaged transmission, which is a lot more expensive than a new hose and a far bigger hassle for owners. Affected vehicles can be brought to the nearest Subaru dealer to have the hose replaced free of charge. If you're not sure if your vehicle falls under the recall, call Subaru at 1-856-488-8500.
