1 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2012

Exhaust manifold bolts broke off resulting in pinging noise. My mechanic verified the broken bolts and told me this could lead to other more serious problems including possible fire. He also suggested I should contact a gm dealer to see if there was a recall for this problem. I have been driving for more than 50 years and I have never had exhaust manifold bolts just break off.
