D Your exhaust system sounds strange

or different.

D Your vehicle gets rusty underneath.

D Your vehicle was damaged in a collision.

D Your vehicle was damaged when driving

over high points on the road or over
road debris.

D Repairs weren’t done correctly.

modified improperly.

If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into
your vehicle:

to blow out any CO; and

D Have your vehicle fixed immediately.
