Description of the problem	Regarding: subaru recall campaign wqk-47 / nhtsa recall no. 14v-311 / july 2014. The remedy for this recall is inspection and testing of the brake lines. If there is no active brake fluid leak at the time of inspection, the lines/connections will be sprayed with anti-corrosion material. It is very clear in the documents that replacement will not be done under any other circumstances, regardless of how much rust/corrosion is already present in the brake line system. I find this absolutely appalling, and an extreme danger to unsuspecting drivers of these vehicles. These brake lines could be one day away from leaking, but if they are not leaking at the time of inspection, they will not be replaced. The owners of these vehicles should be protected from damage that has already occurred to the brake lines in the form of obvious corrosion. This remedy does not fix anything if rusted/corroded parts are going to be left in place, with most owners completely unaware of the hidden danger. I would like feedback from the government regarding this serious concern.
