 The passenger's side exhaust manifold on my 1997 motorhome has warped, which subsequently caused a bolt holding the manifold in place to break off. the ford dealer now repairing the vehicle said that ford has had many problems with exhasut manifolds on the 460 cid engine in motorhomes...why no recall, why no action on this? the resulting exhaust leak clearly posed a danger to my family as we traveled in our motorhome. *ak
