I noticed that the trunk hatch had two points that were flaking off at the same areas on either sides of the trunk thru the thread from Shep. I checked my 2012 outback and found out the same problem. So I'd like to share with you. See attached image and check your car if you are an owner of 2012 model. I set up the appointment with dealer and contacted to SOA.

I had the same problem on one side of mine as well. I just touched it up myself.

You couldn't just leave it in the thread in the Gen 4 forum? People don't seem to have trouble finding that thread, why not keep it all in one place?

I have a 2013 Outback 3.6R that I haven't had a month and have the same problem. The car is at the dealership getting fixed. We shall see.

My car got same paint issue like yours. But on the hood part.
