Subaru Recalls 2010 Legacy, Outback

Subaru of America is recalling more than 29,443 MY 2010 Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles because a crack can occur in the CVT cooler hose, resulting in a fluid leak.

The issue affects cars with a continuously variable transmission, or CVT. While Subaru did notify NHTSA of the consequence of this, a lack of fluid in the transmission is known to cause serious damage.

According to Subaru spokeswoman Jessica Tullman, no injuries or deaths have been related to the issue.

The vehicles covered in the recall were manufactured between July 31 and Dec. 1 of 2009.
