Default Another jeep junk failure

My muffler has a hole in it (exhaust leak) and it's not even a year old and only 25000 km on it.
Are mufflers covered under warranty?

If it wasn't caused by driving over a rock or some other sort of puncture / road hazard, then I would think it should be.

Is it a rust hole, a punture, or just the drain hole?

It's normal for all mufflers to have a drain hole. This is most likely what it is. Can you post a pic?

Got it replaced under warranty only after arguing. They try to tell me it was Stainless Steel>!!? Anyway, they did a good job on it.
