4 Years and 32,000 miles is no cause for concern.

I have never heard of a Subaru snapping a belt actually, sure it's happened, but never seen it posted anywhere.

It is advisable to stick to the service schedule.

I had mine changed at 60,000 miles as advised in the service book.

Got mine done at ScoobyWorld, in and out in an hour and a half, good service and a decent price .

Never let a cam belt go beyond 5 years regardless of the mileage.
