Subaru of America, Inc. has recalled 809 2010-2011 Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback vehicles due to a programming error affecting the power train and manual transmission. According to Subaru, a lubrication hole within the 6-speed manual transmission was omitted.
If the transmission gears are not properly lubricated, a groaning sound may begin to develop alerting the driver of a problem. If the sound is ignored and no action is taken, the gears will eventually break and this condition will lead to vehicle power loss, possibly resulting in a crash.
“Vehicle manufacturers have to be held accountable for injuries and deaths caused by a defect in their vehicles,” stated car accident attorney Fred Pritzker. “Consumers rely on manufacturers to test vehicles for safety before they are sold.”
