Subaru recalls 2011 Legacy, Outback models for moonroof fix

Subaru is recalling 69,590 copies of the 2011 Legacy and Outback because of a problem with the moonroof. The glass has been known to loosen and detach from the roof while driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

NHTSA says that the adhesive between the glass and the retainer was inadequately applied.

Earlier this year, Subaru recalled 195,080 copies of the 2010 and 2011 Legacy and Outback to fix the wiper-motor bottom cover that could overheat and lead to a fire.

The new recall begins in October, and dealers will inspect the glass adhesive to see whether it is suitable and apply more if necessary.
