On certain motorhomes built on RAM Promaster chassis, the modifications done to the exhaust system to accommodate the Continental Kit (CK) could cause the chassis wiring and bumper to extremely high temperatures. If anyone was to come in contact with the rear bumper shortly after the vehicle was operated it could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will install a new tailpipe to redirect the exhaust down, away and out from under the vehicle.
