2010 Subaru OUTBACK Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving about 30 mph on a country road, attempted to stop, and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I was able to use my paddle shifters to slow the car down to a safer speed. After the pedal went to the floor, i noticed that the brake warning light had come on. Luckily i was close to home and was able to limp the car back home where the car has sat unable to be driven. There is an outstanding recall (subaru #214790, nhtsa# 14v311000) for 05-09 outback models. Although my vin says it's a 2010, it takes 2009 brake pads (2010 pads weren't even close) so i suspect it's an early 2010 model with some 2009 parts- specifically the braking system. Our household has had this problem fixed on 5 different subarus (92 outback, 95 outback, 98 outback, 02 outback, 09 legacy) so we are well aware of the problem. This failed in exactly the same spot photos attached of the blown brake lines. I contacted my dealer the day it happened and they said there are no open recalls for this for my model year- even after i explained the different size brake pads. They suggested i contact subaru america- which i did on sept 4. They said the same thing as the dealer, suggested i call subaru corporate (they were closed) but cautioned me that they wouldn't be able to help. I think the recall should be extended to include at least the 2010 model. I'm trying the nhtsa because it's a major safety problem that occurs without warning. The next person this happens to may not be so lucky. Is there anything you can do to help? I'm looking for this to be fixed on my car and the recall to be extended to other cars with this design flaw. The 3 photos attached show: img_2145.

What is Recall?

What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
