Consumer Description

THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS ROUTED SO THAT IT WAS IN CONTACT WITH THE REAR AIR SPRING SUSPENSION. OVER TIME THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE BURNED A HOLE IN AIR SPRING BAG. IN OUR CASE THE FAILURE WAS NOT CASTASTROPHIC. WE WERE PARKED AND AIR LOSS WAS SLOW. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT UNDER DRIVING CONDITIONS THE AIR LOSS COULD HAVE BEEN MORE RAPID AND HANDLING COMPROMISED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE ROUTING AND THE FAILED COMPONENT. M
