Joining in here for info. My sister has a '12 Impreza and recently had the recall done. Immediately after getting the car back they drove it ~30 miles out to me and complained about it - they noticed a lot of hesitation and thought it might be a transmission issue. Drove it 30 miles home and got the CEL and a bunch of other lights.

Shady Brooklyn dealer says it's a misfire on Cyl 3 and that cylinder needs to be replaced, but it's "clearly" not related to the work they just did. She has an extended 3rd party warranty so regardless, it's going to be on them to fix but it sounds like they know how much they just screwed this up and are doing anything they can to make it sound like it isn't their problem.

Will report back, but it sounds like this is a potential nightmare asking these same guys to rebuild the engine after they just potentially mashed the valves into the cylinder.
