[URL="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/"]Subaru[/URL] today announced a recall that affects 5,379 [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/legacy/"]Legacy[/URL] sedan and [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/outback/"]Outback[/URL] wagon models in the United States. All of the affected 2013 model-year vehicles were built between February 15 and June 15 of 2012.

According to the [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nhtsa/"]National Highway Traffic Safety Administration[/URL], "the inner and outer shafts of the steering column assembly may become disengaged from one another" in these vehicles. If that happens, the driver can lose the ability to steer the vehicle, which could obviously lead to all sorts of harmful things.

Subaru will notify owners of the problem, and affected models will have their steering columns replaced at dealerships, free of charge.
