New recall for brake lines


Recommended Posts

Considering you are out of warranty, I doubt they will harass you for washers. If you just get mufflers, It will sound way better. The mid pipe resonator is whats quieting down the exhaust the most. Whatever you do, don't delete the mid resonator and leave the stock cans, It sounds like crap.

So this part of the car actually failed for me and the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor.

 

Would Subaru honor this recall on a 2008 LGT with 107,000 miles on it?

 

You'll need to call SOA and talk with them or your local dealership.

If they did the recall where they sprayed the anti-corrosion wax on everything, it's unlikely they will do anything for you. A few people have reported getting lucky and subaru footing the whole bill, others saying subaru offered to cover just the parts (like $300 maybe, and like $2700 labor), while others saying subaru outright told them to pound sand, we're not covering anything. Your best bet would be an independent shop splicing into the lines under the rear seat, and running new lines to the rear left/right wheels. I've heard anywhere from $300-$700 for that. There's always the DIY route too of course, if you're comfortable with that.

If the car hasn't been to the dealership for the recall, you could have a chance.. Keep us posted

I see that wax substance in that area so it seems like they may have already done that recall.

 

That's not too bad of a DIY it seems. Especially the guy that routes it under the back seat to the other side.
