2018.01.22 Head Gasket FSA 17B32 (Field Service Action) Issued worldwide recall and gasket/head change if needed, pretty much all engines built till may 2017 are concerned (june and later are ok, 2018 LE all have the new gasket) if your dealer/garage doesn't want to do it contact Ford directly or find a proper mechanic because it's an obligatory recall, not a choice, failure to do it in time (limit date is 19.01.31 for NA) could mean a loss of warranty

Get a grip Golf boy. Enjoy your time on the track and focus on improving your own driving instead of comparing your car to others, trying to feed your unquestionable fragile ego.
