Not to my knowledge....I/we have owned the car since 2013.
I think the crack has been there for a while. When I had some exhaust work done a while back, I could hear the rushing of air coming from that area. I chalked it up to turbo whine and forgot about it. But now I'm confident it was exhaust escaping through that crack.
One stud broke off...so mechanic will have to drill it out. Ug.
