I am signed up for recall notices through NHTSA's website.

I just got an email about a recall notice for 2010 legacy and outback with the CVT transmission manufactuered from July 31 through December 1, 2009.

Apparently the cooler hose can crack and leak fluid.

Thank you JarekMW.

My car was built in that time frame. However my.subaru.com doesn't show any recalls against my VIN...

I'll give it a few days.

Subaru recalling nearly 30,000 Outback and Legacy vehicles - Auto Motion : The Orange County Register

Sounds like CVT fun.

Mod note:

I merged the 3 threads on the same basic topic to reduce clutter.

Interesting they must have change the hose type since mine was built in June of 09 so I'm not in the recall.
