Description of the problem | The subaru outback 2015 was parked in a lot after a 12 minute drive and burst into flames. It was purchased in february 2015 and was not yet due for servicing when the event happened. The subaru outback manufactured from july 3rd-27th 2015 has been recalled due to "possibility of fire due to a transmission fluid leak". I believe the same thing occurred with my car and i am concerned that if the model is not recalled someone will get badly injured or killed due to fire. |
