My Outback was part of the steering column recall. That kept it in the shop for 10 business days.
I had a CEL, with an EyeSight logo in orange, and a blinking xmode light. That was 7 DTCs, and it was in the shop for 10 more business days, and another 15 calendar days. I notified SoA of non-conformance with warranty on the 20th business day in the shop. That gave them a 15 calendar period to complete repairs; it took 18. That's an NC lemon.
The DTCs were ECM U0073; Power Steering C2543, C2545; EyeSight B28A1, B2806, B2809; Combination Meter U0162.
The final repair was to replace bulkhead wiring harness, power steering harness, DCM w/ backup battery.
So far, I have not found any particular areas where the 5th Gen Outbacks are problematic, so I'm currently proceeding with the replacement offer. They did also offer a $4000 cash settlement, but I'm not taking that.
