Does the 2012 Subaru Forester have a timing belt or chain?

As reported by the manufacturer, the 2012 Subaru Forester comes with a timing belt. Subaru requires this portion of the camshaft drive belt and it is proposed that the servicing plan for the belt be tested every 30,000 miles and that the part be replaced every 105,000 miles. The cost of a mechanic's timing belt repair will range from $400 - $500. You will quickly learn if the timing belt fails because You will hear a sharp snap noise and cling because of the loose component of the engine. The vehicle will not be driven and if You need to have the car towed to an auto repair store, that would not be necessary. Some signs to watch out for are hard idling or engine mIS Firing, oil leak at the front of the engine and the control engine light will glow if You find like the timing belt is going wrong.
