WASHINGTON — Subaru is recalling 809 Legacy and Outback vehicles from model years 2010 and ‘11 because the oil lubrication hole within the six-speed manual transmission transfer case had not been drilled, which could lead to the gears breaking, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Subaru of America also issued a stop-sale order on the affected vehicles to its U.S. dealers on July 19.

“Due to a programming error, a lubrication hole within the six-speed manual transmission was omitted,” said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. “If the transmission gears are not properly lubricated, a groaning sound may begin to develop, alerting the driver to a problem. If this 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.”

Visually, the tS receives a new front bumper, as well as a subtle decklid spoiler out back (fixed to the roof on wagon models). New 18-inch alloys wrapped in 225/45-series rubber fill the gurads and special badging is applied all around. Inside, there’s a new instrument cluster, sport seats, carbon-fibre trim, a leather-wrapped STI steering wheel and, of course, STI branding on the shifter and floor mats.
