Consumer Description

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 . *TR
