Description of the problem | 2005 nissan titan le had an exhaust tailpipe separation at a weld. The hanger than holds the tailpipe is designed wrong. The weight of the pipe causes the exhaust gases up into the passenger side rear fender melting wires, plastic, and potentially anything in the cargo box area (bed liner melted). The tailpipe was not damaged in any way prior to the incident. I have found many internet forums with the same problem occurring to other titan owners. I am confident if i would not have noticed the problem earlier and had combustibles in the cargo area, the vehicle would have caught fire. My right turn signal did not work and that is what made me look for the problem. |
