i had to fork out £300 to get mine fixed in February (work all done by main Subaru dealer) - will be interested what happens with this. If VOSA force Subaru to make it a recall, will people be able to retrospectively make a claim for the cost of the job?

Or had a letter?

If you've done the work already then make sure you still have the receipt to show Subaru IM - you may be able to claim after VOSA decide what to do.

Hawkeye HGs - now that's another one that may be worth looking into
