| 2007 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | PIPE FROM FRONT END OF MUFFLER FAILED AT FLANGE WELD DUE TO: (1) MECHANICAL STRAIN, THE MUFFLER PIPE SUPPORTS THE RESONATOR BY PULLING THE PIPE TIGHT; (2) LACK OF CORROSION INHIBITION; (3) POOR QUALITY WELDING, THE COMPONENTS APPEARED TO HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED FIRST. ==DETAILS== [1] THE COMPARATIVELY HEAVY RESONATOR WAS SUPPORTED AT THE REAR ONLY BY THE PIPE SEGMENTS BETWEEN IT AND THE MUFFLER. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MECHANICAL FORCE, APPLIED TO A STRUCTURE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE IT. [2] ANY CAR SOLD TO PARTS OF THE USA THAT REGULARLY GET SNOW SHOULD HAVE CORROSION PREVENTION APPLIED TO ALL UNDERBODY COMPONENTS BY DEFAULT. NOT DOING SO IS NOT ONLY A POOR BUSINESS DECISION BUT ALSO INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF PARTS FALLING OFF AND LANDING IN THE ROAD. [3] WELDS TO UNDERBODY COMPONENTS SHOULD BE WELL INSPECTED, AS IF THEY BECOME SEPARATED PARTS OF THE VEHICLE MAY CEASE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY OR DEPART FROM THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY, RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. ==FINAL NOTE== THIS FORM DOES NOT RETAIN FORMATTING, MAKING THE REPORTS UNDULY DIFFICULT TO READ. *TR |
