According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, [URL="http://autoblog.com/make/subaru"]Subaru[/URL] is recalling 74,000 2010 [URL="http://autoblog.com/model/outback"]Outback[/URL] and [URL="http://autoblog.com/make/legacy"]Legacy [/URL]models built between February 16, 2009 and April 12, 2010. It seems that a bundle of wires located behind the steering wheel can develop stress cracks and eventually break. If this happens, some vehicle functions with controls on the steering wheel - such as the horn, cruise and radio controls, paddle shifters and even the driver's airbag - could fail.

Owners of affected vehicles are urged to contact their local dealerships to see if their cars are equipped with a possibly defective steering roll connector. If so, the dealership will replace the component free of charge. Earlier this year, Subaru recalled roughly 30,000 Outback and Legacy models for a [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/12/subaru-recalling-nearly-30-000-outback-legacy-models-over-cvt-c/"]leaky CVT transmission hose[/URL].

Full details on this latest recall can be found after the break.
