Default Because +

anyone with even an ounce of brain SHOULD know that you don't touch a hot exhaust.

Don't need the gov't to baby sit.

Default No one is trying to touch the exhaust

But the manufacturer should take steps to prevent people from accidentally coming in contact with it while operating the vehicle normally. Nothing wrong with that.

I also think they should do something about the wheels. They could roll over someone's toes

Agree. Leaning into the cargo area to pull out groceries should not be dangerous.
