Description of the problem	I dropped my car off for the valve spring recall on 3/26/2019 for work to be done that week. Nhtsa campaign number: 18v772000. I was returned the car 10 days later, far longer than told. On wednesday, 6/5/2019, the engine started making a loud clunking sound especially at idle and when the a/c was on. I noticed the sound when i pulled into my garage and it was unable to be missed. The car still drove so i immediately brought it to my local subaru dealer who did the recall. They claimed they had no idea what it was and would diagnose on 6/6 and i would receive a call. Call never came but doing more research online about the issues with the recall i found videos that sound just like the noise i have. Approximate mileages since work done is 1750 miles, exact unknown since the car is at the dealership. I was unhappy that when they took the car they claimed if the cause is something they took apart then they will be liable but if it is anywhere else the costs are on me. I know that is probably a blanket statement but this sound is pretty distinctive. They took the car and gave me a lonaer as they said it wasn't safe to drive since the sound appeared to be from the engine block, location of bearings.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
