Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Transmission oil cooling piping rusted through causing significant loss of transmission fluid within minutes resulting in a tow to the service garage. This is a known issue to subaru as they issued a technical service bulletin - sb-10056871-1025 - on sept. 2, 2014 (#16-92-14). Fortunately, this happened within about 5 minutes of my home while driving <25 mph and i saw the puddle in my driveway and a stream of fluid on the road leading to my driveway. The result was a lot of spilled fluid and nearly a $500 repair bill to replace the cooling lines. My concern, however, is that this issue is not detectable while driving and would likely result in not only loss of the entire transmission, but i suspect could lead to an accident and potentially loss of life. If this is a known issue to subaru and results in a complete loss of transmission fluid within probably minutes and could lead to not only massive transmission damage but also an accident and potentially loss of life, why isn't there a recall for this?
