Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“During a utah state safety inspection last year it was found that 3 of the 12 exhaust manifold bolts were broken on my 6.0l engine. The bolt heads were completely broken off/missing. The broken bolts allow the exhaust manifolds to leak causing problems with emissions. If left undetected this problem can cause the catalytic converter to fail. Just to have the bolts repaired is a very expensive >$500 repair that could have been averted by having these faulty bolts changed out early on. …”
