None is covered by Subaru you are outside of the warranty period.
Yes you could have the same issue. Or you may not. Seems to be a mixed bag of bushings they used and some lucky guys got the good ones. The majority seem to have avoided the issue but some of us did not.
It cost between $500 to $1200 depending on if the TOB damaged the clutch. If just the bearing you can DIY for under $100 in parts.
The TOB can go on any car and if you start switching every time a wear part wears it will get costly fast.
