Default tailpipe rattle

just discovered a tailpipe rattle apparently caused by the chrome piece on the outer ring. anyone ran into something similar before? what's your experience or recommended fix?

Have not heard of this issue. If it is under warranty, the dealer will fix it for you NC. Are you still under 4 years and 48 months?

Default fixed

it's a 2008 so it's still under warranty... sent it to dealer the other day and it got fixed under 90 min. hopefully the rattle would stay fixed.

better late response than never... all it said on the invoice (no charge of course): REAR CHROME TIP WAS PUSHED BACK. REMOVED AND REINSTALLED CHROME EXHAUST TIP.
