Hazard

In the lighting equipment, the exhaust pipe outlet position near the rear bumper is improperly located. The rubber retaining ring for the exhaust pipe may elongate over time, causing the outlet direction to shift and direct exhaust gas into the rear bumper. This can melt and damage the rear-right light fixture and electrical wiring mounted on the rear bumper, potentially causing the tail light, brake light, direction indicator, and emergency flasher to fail to illuminate or operate.
