According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/subaru">Subaru</a> is recalling 74,000 2010 <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/outback">Outback</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/legacy">Legacy </a>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.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/12/subaru-recalling-nearly-30-000-outback-legacy-models-over-cvt-c/">leaky CVT transmission hose</a>.<br />

Full details on this latest recall can be found after the break.<br />
