Purchased used October 2018 . Received recall notice in mail and took to dealership November 2018 . Recall was for driver airbag and rear brake line corrosion. Airbag was replaced at that time and brake line was alledged to be inspected and coated . Apr 2019 car pulled in front of vehicle and brakes were applied hard and rear brake line blew . No accident . Car was towed to local mechanic and due to their knowledge of previous recall repairs was advised to car Subaru directly . Subaru was called and they advised to take back to dealership . The car was again towed . Subaru reference number 1-43591235818. Dealership claimed repairs were allegedly done and that Subaru would not contribute to current situation . I contest that repairs were not properly done . It was easier to allegedly spray coating than to do repairs that were needed . Coating a brake line that is already corroded is not a proper repair . Photograph clearly shows this fact .
