Subaru has issued two recalls for the subaru crosstrek 2013: break lights and engine stalls due tomorrow valve crack. These are both safety recalls. I contacted two subaru dealers for the recall, and it's been a month since they've said they could take may car. I called twice more, and they keep telling me another month.
