Warning-Power steering pump bracket FAILURE

[shelly]

WARNING TO ALL OWNERS-THE POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET IS KNOWN TO FAIL- IT CRACKS. My car has been at a dealership repair shop for over two months. Contacted Subaru customer service and told them that my p/s pump bracket was cracked, and that the one that I sourced from a salvage yard was also cracked. Asked them to consider a recall and inspection to all owners. They told me their was nothing they could do. Can only wonder if over the years any SVX owners were hurt when this part failed. Anyone know of someone getting hurt? Having to scrap the car for inability to source the part? THIS SHOULD BE A TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION AT THE 30TH MEETING, IF NOT SOONER, DON'T YOU AGREE?

I have never seen one cracked or damaged unless hit during an accident. I do see the long adjuster bolt broken either from corrosion or improper use. It is quite a thick cast aluminum part and I would be curious to see if there are other people who have actually had them broken.

30 motors not one broken but will keep a eye out as I'm working on them.
