"Between April 2012 and August in 2015 Subaru said it had eleven reports of vehicles stalling in the United States."
11 failures from the valve springs.
40+ failures after the recall work, on this forum alone.
The rate of successful recall work isn't relevant as far as safety goes, the comparison of the rate of failure between the valve springs and the recall work is the relevant safety metric. |
There was a document way back in one of the 100 or so threads that listed 94 failures from the springs worldwide.
Still better odds than the repair work though since all of the repair failures are on the FA20 engine which is only in the 25,000 FRS and BRZs. There are no repair failures reported on any of the other models.
The rate of successful repairs is certainly relevant in that the issue may not be as large as being reported. We just don't know.
