The risk of sealant being improperly applied when resealing an engine is a much more foreseeable risk. And that risk in fact materialized numerous times during the recall campaign, leading to engine failures.. Why else do you think Toyota/Subaru would have subsequently issued the warning memo on the sealing process?
Yep I agree. The majority were taken care of one way or another. It’s the ones that fell through the cracks that Subaru/Toyota should address.
By now, I’ve said what I think needed to be said on behalf of the affected owners. If you or others can’t understand that Toyota/Subaru were in the best position to help those owners (from a recall process designed by Toyota/Subaru, carried out by dealers authorized to wear their branding, paid for directly by Subaru/Toyota for a part that Subaru/Toyota admittedly incorrectly designed), then I don’t think I can say anything further.

I laughed at the rampaging elephants [emoji23]
What about meteor strikes?! Or an alien abducts your car and performs “experiments” on it. Who would cover that?!! [emoji16]
I guess you could ask them to get rid of the torque dip
