It's been barely over 3000KM since I had the work done (I haven't driven much during the pandemic), and then I had a full rod failure yesterday. Total mileage is ~86,000KM. I had it towed to shop that performed the recall, and they're telling me this has nothing to do with the recall work because they have an "easy process to replace the valve springs".
I was quoted $8000CDN (best case), or $13000 worst case to fix this. Sigh.

they never stand behind it. The valve spring replacement isn’t the problem it’s the timing cover that needs to come off and go back on without getting silicone in the motor.
Do not let the same shop do the work. Find a competent Subaru independent shop to do it. New oem shortblock turn key will be about 7k
