2008 Apex coolant system defect

[Hutchmobile]

I have a 2008 Apex, just wanted to give heads up that the coolant pipe that connects the coolant system at the back of the sled from one side to the other is rivitted in and the rivets wear out and let's the pipe drop and start to wear through on a sheet metal seam. Look under sled above back end of track, it will move easily up and down.

Unfortunately this is not uncommon on these sleds. Just replace my rear exchanger because the rivets came loose and I did not catch that in time.

thanks for the heads up. this years maintence on the 11 apex will involve checking all tunnel and bulkhead rivits as sled is around 28000 km.
