    THE STRAP THAT HOLDS THE SEWER DRAIN PIPE BROKE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR MODEL YEARS 2018 THROUGH 2020. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. LUCKILY FOR ME, THIS HAPPENED CLOSE TO HOME SO IT DID NOT CAUSE DRAIN PIPE DAMAGE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET A TEMPORARY FIX TO MAKE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME.
