The  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is recalling 200,000 Subaru 2005-2009 Legacy and Outback sedans and wagons for corroded brake lines.
NHTSA said that “salt water could splash on the brake lines through a gap in the fuel tank protector, resulting in excessive corrosion of the brake lines.  The corrosion could cause brake fluid leakage, which could result in longer vehicle stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash.” 
There have been no reports of accidents, injuries or incidents of failure.  The problem was discovered by Subaru during an internal testing program.
