## Narrative
According to a Honda dealership, a bracket holding the exhaust pipe under the car snapped and caused the pipe to then lay on the bumper, which melted the bumper.  They said there was nothing they could do.    This is a manufacturer defect.  If a bracket snaps, the bracket should be replaceable.    At this point, the bracket needs to be replaced and so does the bumper.
