While driving the vehicle, the air horns detached and fell onto the roadway and became inoperable. The air horn trumpets are metal and weigh a pound or so each. This has happened 3 times and I have had the air horns break again. The last time one trumpet became lodged on the front sway bar and dangled beneath the vehicle. It almost hit the drive belts on the engine.
