Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
