Description of the problem | Received subaru recall (wuj-95) on aug,3. 2020 pertaining to exhaust pipe bellow failure. The recall includes replacement of the exhaust y-pipe that is installed from engine to tale pipe. This exhaust pipe in my understanding was installed under a stress manufacturing process where the pipe and fastener system has to be forced in to install. This puts excess stress on the bellows and caused failure. My question is why did subaru wait five years to notify the consumer and issue a recall. Please return my request for a full explanation of what happened. 2nd. I would like to address the cvt transmission issue. Subaru extended the transmission failure time line to 10yr-100,000 mile. I am having many issues with my cvt transmission and subaru will not issue a recall. With all the complaints and problems with the gen-5 cvt transmission would please take a 2nd look at this issue. |
