Have you taken the truck back to them? From what you're saying, it
sounds like its pretty obvious that they're at fault. They will most
likely remedy the problem for free. It probably wouldn't be a big deal
for them to get the weld off the sensor, then it would just be
a case of putting a new sensor in there. (I think a new O2 sensor
costs $50-70.) Worst case scenario: they can't remove the sensor so
they have to cut the pipe just before the sensor and weld on a replacement
with an O2 bung welded into the new pipe.
Good luck, I hope you can get this resolved!
