| Description of the problem | Received a notice about safety recall (nhtsa id 18v-722) involving risk of valve spring failure that could lead to engine stalling and risk of crash. Called our local subaru dealership in golden, co to have the issue resolved. Was told that the earliest that they could get to it would be may of 2020 (15 months). "too many cars are being recalled at the same time. 150 ahead of us in the queue for this repair." this translates to only 10 recall repairs performed per month. Said that they hope to move us earlier, but no promises were made. No comment about their liability should the failure occur during this over-one-year timeframe while waiting for this safety recall to be performed. |
