Subaru Stops Sales for 2010 Legacy, Outback

Subaru has issued a stop-sale notice for the 2010 Legacy and Outback because of a recall for the inspection and possible replacement of a high-pressure cooler hose that can crack and potentially leak fluid, which could lead to a fire.

This involves 29,000 vehicles, including both those already sold to customers and on dealer lots. It impacts models built between July 31 and Dec. 1, 2009.

Dealerships will receive replacement parts this week while Subaru begins notifying owners. The fix is free. The automaker says the halt in sales will last only a couple of weeks.

Owners may contact Subaru at 800-782-2783.
