Description of the problem	I am the care taker and son of this car's elderly owner and driver, and i just got a second recall notice (14v-830) that says, "due to incomplete repair instructions provided to our retailers, your vehicle may not have been treated with the proper amount of anti-corrosion material" (referring to first recall repair). The recall also says to contact your website "if you believe the subaru retailer has failed or is unable to remedy your vehicle without charge within a reasonable amount of time." it will not be without a charge, that is, cost to me. Like recall one i will have to take off work and lose pay and spend the time and expense to drive the car to and from the dealer, all because of subaru's improper manufacturing (recall one) and poor execution of the supposed repair (recall two). Therefore subaru corp should pay me or my mother, or pay the dealer to pay me for the expenses i will incur for the "without charge" repair. Amount requested is $50.
