Subaru recently issued a recall on the 2010 models of its Outback wagons and Legacy sedans with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) because of a defect that could cause transmission failure and result in an accident. According to the company, the cooler hose can crack or split, causing a fluid leak. If the fluid leaks out completely, the vehicle come to a stop. This could result in a terrible auto accident.

The automaker has announced that it will replace recalled vehicles free of charge, and that owners will receive a notice in the mail. A formal recall schedule has not been announced.
