Oil on the exhaust system or other components can ignite, causing a dangerous situation. Car was brought to dealership for a leak.

There are 3 fuel lines on the right side of the engine bay to the right of the intake manifold that can become chafed.

One of the fuel lines on the driver side is rubbing on the underside of the hood, when closed, causing marks, and potentially a burst on a fuel lines, causing fires. The fuel line on my car has rub marks, and visually “wearing it down”. No bursts, yet.

The car has just over 6,000 miles on it, and the rubbing is so severe that it has removed the printed writing on the line and smoothed out the hose to the point where it is flat. From what I can tell, the hose is rubbing against another fuel line, which must occur while the engine is running. Considering the car was manufactured in September 2024, I find this to be not only unacceptable but dangerous. If I had not caught this, it would have easily ru… Look up ODI 11667024 at NHTSA ↗ | 250.0%ODI 116684121.

Upon inspection of the (good) left-side license plate light, everything seemed pretty secure. The right-side license plate light has a plastic bracket on the one side and a plastic clip on the other side. The plastic clip broke off. I don't think it's been that way long, and I can't think of anything that could have caused it as a daily driver.
