Description of the problem	My mechanic said there were recalls on 2004 subaru legacy cars for this problem. I am not the original owner bought this car from a subaru dealer -used. The vin number does not bring up any recalls for the header gasket for this model. Was there a recall for header gaskets for a 2004 subaru legacy ? My mechanic stated it would cost around $1200. 00 to fix. The car has 161k miles and is still in good condition. Can you advise if subaru ever recalled this car due to faulty header gaskets ? Shouldn't the subaru dealer fix this for free or at a lower cost ? I have already replaced the oil pan gasket, power steering pump, water pump , which has not been cheap. I take very good care of my car and keep the oil changed every 3000 miles. Thank you .

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.
