Could have called the dealer where the car was bought and they would have let you know as well . I posted bout the site being down days ago so I called the dealer and Subaru let me know I was on the recall :/

Also, I don't know if it's been said, but "engine stall" is the simplest way they can phrase it in a way that everyone understands. The consequences of a valve spring failing is yes, the engine stalling... ... Because a spring failed, the keepers popped out and the valve dropped in the cylinder, allowing it to contact the piston resulting in catastrophic engine damage. But as I said, even if the vin on your car's body is involved in the recall, your replacement engine isn't. |

Stalling denotes there is a possibility it will restart or be able to be restarted. They need to change that wording to say that the engine will stop running. At that point people would at least know that they will likely have reduced braking and steering and need to pull over immediately.

I'm also a bit confused by this. I've turned the key to the on position so I could use the steering to check wheel clearance with brake ducts without having to run the engine. Was this just steering unlocked, but not power steering? |

Must be powered directly from the alternator and not through the battery. No engine spin no power. Good to know!

I just tested this and indeed the power steering quits with the engine off and the ignition on. I have no idea why. It's not hard to steer but it does take a little more effort. I think this car would be fine without power steering.What surprises me is the power brakes seem to still work fine. Residual vacuum maybe?

I have the valve spring recall information from Toyota. Different parts for automatics and manuals.

Hooray, I'm in it now too!
Maybe I should just wait for my clutch til then and have them do it while the motor is out. |
