3.5 Ecoboost Exhaust Leak

[dre276]

So I started up my car this morning and noticed water dripping down the center of the car. Looked down and saw the exhaust had a pin sized hole exhaust leak and all rusted. Anyone else have this issue? I purchased my truck, 2021 F150 XLT 3.5EB in December 2020. Debating if I should have the dealer replace it or buy an aftermarket exhaust. Anyone know if this would be covered under warranty?

Worth a try but if there is a dent where the hole is, they will probably say you hit something.

Check this thread, seems it's there on purpose for drainage.

That drain hole is to allow condensation to drain out of the exhause, so it doesn't rust out as fast.

looking at the other thread, it looks to be normal. If any admin is looking at this and would like to delete the thread, please do so.

Well son of a bitch. I just noticed this on mine this morning so I came here to look for answers or post regarding it. I got lucky.

I imagine it would be worse during the cold winter weather.

I always heard a small exhaust leak but couldn’t tell where it was located. This just confirmed my suspicions on the leak and i get why they did but I don’t like hearing the leak

Good morning! Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name and location of your local Ford dealer. I would like to see what I can do to assist with your truck's exhaust leak.
