Description of the problem	While driving the vehicle and trying to brake it lost the ability to apply the brakes almost causing an accident. After further inspection found this was a recall for this vehicle. I called the manufacturer and they said it was performed and they could not do anything further. The exact area pertaining to the brake lines failing as described in the recall is where it has failed. Their is no evidence of the recall being performed as the repair indicated spraying the vehicle with anti corrosion spray. It does not appear that was ever done. This is for the brake lines in the passenger rear of the vehicle next to the gas tank. Recall number they say was completed is wqk-47. Research shows many other people have this issue still and subaru has not repaired the vehicle as it should have been. Thank you
