NHTSA recall 10V326000
Power Train · Subaru of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Due to a programming error, a lubrication hole within the 6-speed manual transmission was omitted.
Why it matters: 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.
The fix: Subaru will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles by drilling an oil lubrication hole and, if necessary, replace the internal parts with new ones free of charge. The safety recall began on July 28, 2010.
