Primarily on the 6-cylinder engine. The older models with timing belts were interference, so the belt HAD to be changed at the correct interval.
There have been some high profile recalls with Subaru engines, and the vehicles in general. One involved missing welds in the body structure; Subaru was replacing the entire car for that one.
Weak valve springs found their way into some of the 4-cylinder engines. Replacement required partial engine teardown. Another problem cropped up after the valve springs were replaced. Apparently the sealant for the timing cover was applied at the factory by robots, which did the job exactly right every time.
But the dealers replaced the valve springs and the human mechanics didn't do quite the precise job that the robots did and sealant got into the crankcase, blocked the oil pick up and the result was very bad indeed.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
