TAKATA RECALL: SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL SAYING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS IN MY SUBARU. THE NOTICE SAID NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN MY CAR IN THE FRONT SEAT. IT ALSO SAID THAT REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS WOULD BE INSTALLED AT NO COST AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE NEW AIRBAGS ARE AVAILABLE. MY COMPLAINT: IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS. I CANNOT DRIVE WITH ANYONE IN MY FRONT SEAT AND I AM GETTING TIRED OF WAITING TO FIND OUT WHEN THE NEW BAGS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I'VE HEARD NOTHING ELSE! THE REPLACEMENTS NEED TO BE INSTALLED VERY SOON! I WENT TO THIS WEBSITE (HTTPS://VINRCL.SAFERCAR.GOV/VIN/VINLOOKUP) TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THERE WAS THE FOLLOWING NOTICE: IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA.

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
