The hazard
On certain vehicles, the centrally-located tailpipe extension protrudes slightly beyond the rear bumper. As a consequence, it is possible for inadvertent contact with a person's leg. It the tailpipe is hot during contact, a burn could occur. Correction: Dealers will replace the tailpipe extension with a new, shortened version.
