I'll be sure to ask the service manager what their thoughts are once it's fixed. Based on the sound and way it was acting, I'm pretty sure it was a spun rod bearing. I had no CEL, just a click/rattle that followed the rpm band that started while I driving on the interstate and got louder the longer I drove it.
I do think it's interesting they replaced it with my vague proof of maintenance. I've only found one other example of one online with more than 50k miles on it and a major engine failure--everyone else so far seems to be under 25k with more examples happening in that 20-25k range.
Subaru/Toytao has to have acknowledged some kind of defect internally.
