You are misunderstanding the intent of Subaru’s words. Subaru refers to the engine stalling as worst-case scenario due to the safety implications... safety concerns are the cause of a recall to begin with. The engine stalling at an inopportune time can result in an accident, which could be quite catastrophic in and of itself to both the car and the driver. Mechanical damage from broken spring fragments or a valve smacking a piston after the spring breaks can cause an engine to stall and can result in catastrophic engine damage.

Called the Toyota dealership I bought my FR-S from, just to see if perhaps they've gotten notices, and they hadn't even heard of the issue yet... not a good start.

Anyone know how manufactures have handled situations like this in the past? If I had to guess you would be on your own. The recall letter may even have some legal jargon about not being responsible for problems that arise if the recall is ignored. |

Ok guy, I am relaxed... my car is not part of the recall... you were the one panicking. Are you really surprised that your dealership "hasn't heard of the recall" yet? Dealerships rarely have a clue and it's going to take some time for Subaru and Toyota to distribute the information to all of the dealerships and owners. Just "relax guy" until you receive your notice in the mail

Pretty typical, it will take a couple months for info to get out to the dealers, along with notices being sent to the lucky owners.

For a car dealer it's another day at the office. They're not going to say or do anything til instructed.

Currently, my car is not part of the recall, but we all know how recalls start with a limited number of VINs and then tend to proliferate...
