The problem
The cover sleeves on the exhaust tailpipes have been secured with only two instead of four welding spots.
The risk
The cover could loosen during driving and detach causing a road hazard for other drivers and/or nearby pedestrians.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the tailpipes and, if necessary, replace them with tailpipes on which the cover sleeve has been secured with four welding spots.
