Saying it's voluntary is a little misleading, especially since they knew about the problem 6 years ago. My resale value now alone and the 3500 bucks that it will probably take off the car in the end shows subaru is doing us no favors. In my opinion It was a very low move how this recall was done and if you think subaru is just an unfortunate bystander I have to chuckle.
In terms of people blowing the issue out of proportion, there is a reason subaru is spending literally 500 million dollars to do this. They have no other choice. This failed recall issue is completely legit. In the past the forum has been oh 5 guys engines for a range of years fail, and issues get blown out whack, and everybody knows about it. This is 100% not the same situation as when there are 40 people with failures right away all coming to the forum and posting. You have to think how many people aren't on the forums and who have no idea about it. Especially if you expand that issue to all subarus. How many other model valve recall motors have failed? I think the reality is subaru figured out by the time you hit 6 digits of mileage and a few more years the failure rate was going to be extreme. Otherwise they would have handled it case by case you'd think.
Anyways when you have 4 years worth of posts and a handful of failures over that time, thats how things get skewed and issues seem bigger. When you have a crapload of people posting in a very short amount of time and you have new ones each day that says A LOT.

Would like to see something that says they have know about this for 6 years.
The 4 years worth of posts have nothing to do with the spring recall. They were for oil starvation and if you read more of what I have said you would see I have called that issue for 3 years.
At no point did I say the issue with the recall failures was not legit.
You have jumped on a post with both feet before reading on for the updates and other posts. Don't take one post out of context.
