My car is available for inspection.  This exhaust failure poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisioning.  The problem in my car was identified by an independent mechanic who works exclusively on Subarus and has seen this failure in other clients' vehicles.  He referred me to Subaru for repairs and recommended I look into why I hadn't received a recall notice.  I contacted Subaru, opened a case, then didn't recieve a response in the timeframe they defined.  After waiting a few days, I called back to learned my case had been closed.  Their customer advocacy representative responded the next week and said my car was not recalled because it was manufactured on 11/3/2015, after the end date of the recall on 9/30/2015.  She also cited a lack of service history with a Subaru retailer (I offered to provide records) and being out of warranty by time and miles (I mentioned 2017-18 Foresters received warranty extensions to 15 years or 150K miles for this failure.)  I asked what their escalation process is for making exceptions and was told the representative was the only customer-facing person I would be able to speak with about this and she declined to offer any assistance, but did offer a loyalty discount on a new vehicle.  My car has not been inspected by anyone else.  I'm willing to take it to anyone who should look at it.  There were no warning lights or messages related to the issue.  It was diagnosed when I took the car in for regular maintenance and it explains the more noticable smell of exhaust in the car, that I had attributed to other traffic, when I'm sitting at stop lights.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]}]}
