CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS NO HEAT SHIELD, RESULTING IN EXCESS HEAT AND BURN-OFF OF UNDERCOATING WHICH EXPOSED FLOORPAN TO CORROSION. AS A RESULT, A HOLE DEVELOPED IN THE FLOORPAN WHICH ALLOWED EXHAUST FUMES AND EXCESS HEAT TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

THE LACK OF A HEAT SHIELD, WHICH ACCORDING TO THE DEALER'S PARTS DEPARTMENT, DID NOT EXIST FOR THIS MODEL CAUSED THE UNDERCOATING TO MELT AND EXPOSED THE METAL FOR CORROSION.
