THe ringland issue on Subaru's wasn't limited to the 07+ model but goes back to the 02+ EJ20 motor as well. The motors have a cast piston but can be fixed (or at least less of a worry) with a set of forged pistons.
Like others have already mentioned, why worry when the vehicle has a new car warranty? If you've already exceeded the warranty mileage and your're still concerned then trade it in on a new one or start budgeting for another motor. Every car is going to have their issues. I personally wouldn't loose sleep over it.
