I sold and installed a laminate floor over 4 years ago. The floor is failing and the customer wants it replaced.

There has been no lawsuit filed however I was notified about the problem before the 4 year warranty period was up. Am I liable?

Contact your CGLI provider. The Statute of Limitations for breach of contract is 4 years. The Civil Code section 900 is a 1-year warranty. There would only be a 4-year warranty if it is written in your contract, but if not in your contract I am unaware of a 4-year warranty via Statute. You may be liable you may not, depends on factors you'll need to talk with an attorney or your insurance carrier about.
