Consumer Description

I took my vehicle to the shop for noise while driving. It was diagnosed as a cracked flex pipe. Upon research, the 2019 and 2021 models had recalls for the same issue, but not 2020. I did find a bulletin from gm including all models of traverse stating the cause could be a faulty weld. My vehicle looks the exact same as the bulletin. This is a safety issue as a hole in the exhaust can cause exhaust to backflow into the cabin. I'm very lucky and thankful me and my kids have not yet been medically affected.
