No. Warranties are held by each for their model. Even though technically a Subaru issue Toyota sold the car and should be responsible for the warranty work. They of course could then go after Subaru as the "supplier" for reimbursement.
Same as any other defective parts on the car really. If the tires were no good Toyota would replace for the customer and then go after Michelin. If the alternator failed they would replace and go after whoever made it. The engine is no different than any other part made by a different company.
Edit: in rereading I may have misunderstood the question. Yes Subaru could approve and Toyota deny as different companies. The rest of what I said applies if you tried to go to Subaru to fix your Toyota!
