I don't know about any recalls. When I got the blown airbag off of the truck I discovered that it had contacted the exhaust and melted. A closer look during my installation would have caught the small distance. I have wrapped the exhaust with two layers of heat insulation tape so that should...

Here's an update on the blown airbag. I sent an email to Donvel on Sunday night about the bag. Monday morning I get a phone call from them. The bag will be replaced under warranty, no questions asked. As soon as I can stop my trip long enough to get the bag delivered I'll have it in hand...

Here's an update. I got the parts installed. I found I need longer fingers and a wrist that bends in a few more places. The hardest part of the install is getting the nut on the bolt inside of the frame behind the exhaust on the curb side. I only had about 100 miles on the set-up when I blew...
