Vehicles Affected: Approximately 3,000 model-year 2015-16 Subaru Legacy sedans and Outback wagons manufactured between July 3 and July 27, 2015
The Problem: Transmission oil may leak from a deformed seal cap on the propeller shaft yoke; oil leaking onto the exhaust pipe increases the risk of a fire.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the propeller shaft for free.
What Owners Should Do: Subaru will begin notifying owners Friday. Owners can call the automaker at 800-782-2783, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
