Default Stock mid pipe

Just seeing how wide spread the issue is. So my oem midpipe cracked clean down the middle.The section where it looks like an h pipe .I have talked to two other GSF owners and same thing happened to them. All 2016 GSFs. If you guys/girls get a chance check out your midpipe for cracks. Thanks

Is there a Recall for this? Does this affect only 2016 or all models of GSF.

I have a 2017 GSF,

No recall that I know of. The 3 GSFs I spoke to are 2016. Im posting to gather more info. The metal Lexus used at that spot is really thin. Makes no sense .

2016 owner here. How would I know if its cracked besides the obvious checking the exhaust. its been a sold 10 below zero here in NY for the past couple days and extremely cold prior. Hope this doesn't potentially cause mine to crack

The way I found it was from the very distinct tin heatshield sound.

What are your VIN numbers? I wonder if it affected just a certain range of 16s.
