Subarus Recalled

CHERRY HILL, N.J.--Subaru of America Inc. is recalling several Legacies, including Legacy L, GT and Outback models. The problems involve inspection/replacement of fuel hoses, rear center seat belts and right front bearing housings on some 2001 model year Legacy models. There have been no reported crashes or injuries.

Due to a potential separation of fuel hose layers, there is the possibility of fuel leakage from the hose under cold temperatures. The fuel hose recall affects 1,456 vehicles. Subaru will inspect 1,977 Legacy vehicles to check for a possible casting flaw in the right front bearing housing. This casting flaw could cause possible loss of control due to tie-rod end separation. Additionally, Subaru will inspect 368 Legacy sedan vehicles with beige color interiors to replace rear center lap/shoulder belt webbing, as the seat belt may not fully extend to its full length.

All registered owners of vehicles potentially affected by the recall will be notified by mail. Repairs will be made for free at Subaru dealers.
