Consumer Description

NOTICED THAT THE FRONT LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT BROKE OFF; NO ONE HAS EVER TOUCHED THIS PART SO THE BOLT WAS INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS IS A MAJOR -- AND KNOWN -- PROBLEM AFFECTING MILLIONS OF THESE ENGINES. THE PATTER STARTS WITH A BOLT OR TWO THEN CULMINATES WITH MORE BROKEN BOLTS, AN EXHAUST LEAK, OVERHEATED CATALYTIC CONVERTER, DAMAGED PARTS AND POTENTIAL FIRES. *TR
