I have a 2011 Subaru Legacy the brakes are soft

Asked by suzanne Jan 18, 2020 at 09:08 AM about the 2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have had the calipers done, master cylinder, new rear brakes and it is still at
the dealer.  What could be wrong?

Bleed it again. If the caliper hoses have gone soft you will have to replace them.

The hoses are usually ok, but yup, sounds like it needs a bleed, as air entered the system when the calipers were "done." I've not seen ANY 2010+ Legacy/OB calipers nor masters needed yet. What happened here?
