Description of the problem	Driving home on 12/11/16, the check engine, vehicle dynamics control, and cruise control indicators came on simultaneously. Check engine and vdc indicators were steady, but cruise control was blinking. The next morning when i started the car, the problem was still there so i immediately went to subaru to have it checked out. They discovered code p1449: "evap system clugged check & found spider webs is evap drain & valve assy. Tech recommend replace evap drain & valve assy." they replaced evap drain & valve assembly and performed evap system clean reinstall which fixed the issue. Total cost 617. 28 (416. 50 for 3. 5 hours labor, 41. 16 for valve ay dra, 159. 62 for valve ay elc). When i first got the car in dec 2011, i purchased an extended warranty (gold plus) which covers 6 years or 60,000 miles with $0 deductible. Before fixing the problem above, they estimated it would cost me $600-$700 out of pocket since they said this problem was not covered under warranty because it was caused by a spider and not a part defect. I called subaru's warranty department which said the same thing. I mentioned that mazda, suzuki, honda, and hyundai all had this problem a few years back and that mazda and suzuki had recalls, while honda and hyundai were covered under warranty. Subaru again stated that they do not cover it. After the fix, a service center advisor said he sees this problem a lot but unfortunately subaru does not cover it. I asked how to prevent it from happening again and he said to spray peppermint oil occasionally around the fuel tank area below the car since the smell deters pests. I paid the bill to get my car. However, i believe a recall of some sort should be issued by subaru to fix the problem and prevent it from happening again or at least have the problem be covered under warranty. I am filing a complaint to you and hope you can help me recover the cost.

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?
