2010 SUBARU LEGACY Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 Subaru Legacy has 5 recalls, with the most serious risks being a transmission fluid leak from the CVT cooler hose that can ignite in the engine compartment, and a manual transmission transfer case defect where third gear can break and cut power to the wheels while driving. On the safety equipment side, a manufacturing defect can cause the windshield wipers to stop working, and if snow or ice blocks them from returning to their resting position, the wiper arms can get stuck higher on the windshield and obstruct the driver's view. On manual transmission models, the electronic parking brake may not engage fully, leaving the vehicle able to roll away if it is not left in gear. There is also a concern for vehicles with a dealer-installed remote engine starter: if the key fob is dropped, an internal clip can shift and damage the circuit board, causing the fob to send a start or stop command without the button being pressed.
