Head gasket failure. Vehicle well maintained, records available. Unacceptable for major engine failure (head gasket) at relatively low milage.

Was told I needed head gasket replaced due to oil dripping. No prior problems have had regular service check up and oil changes I have called the manufacturer and was told there were no recalls as a result. I did find another complaint of similar situation on allpar. Com . This seems too early for such a large repair.
Consumer had seen oil on ground coming from vehicle. Had taken vehicle for repairs, and technician said that oil was coming around engine. Head gasket was replaced once.
