Description of the problem	September 6, 2011, subaru recall 11v464000 or wyx-34, fron lower control arms may break due rust and corrosion from road salt. Corrective action was to punch test, and rustproof if ok; replace at no cost if test failed. My dealer on dec 19, 2011 performed punch test, and reported to subaru it passed and was rustproofed, according to subaru records. Mileage was97,158. On march 27, 2017, my forester failed safety inspection because of rusted through front control arms. Mileage was 128,056. Subaru refused any support, saying they did what was necessary in recall by rustproofing. Rustproofing obviously did not work. The forester failed on the lift inspection, fortunately, not by killing the driver, passengers, or other innocents on the road.
