Thanks for your input Numbchux. That's the first I've heard about the replacement short blocks being tighter. Our 2014 has a "rebuilt" title, which means it was a salvage title then inspected and "certified" rebuilt, which if funny, because so much major safety stuff was still wrong after the inspection. I guess that gives Subaru an excuse to void the warranty although ours has only 79K miles.

Yea, technically here in MN it's a "Prior Salvage". True "salvage" stamped titles cannot be issued plates.

The inspection to convert the title from "Salvage" to "Prior Salvage" has nothing to do with safety. They just want to see the receipts for the major parts purchased (to verify that nothing is stolen).

 

Whatever the verbiage. Once it's totalled, no warranty of any kind applies. Recalls, however, still do (had the Takata removed from our '04 VDC).
