Defect
On certain vehicles, the engine cylinder block contains a casting defect. Operating the engine under sustained heavy load may cause the cylinder block to crack, allowing combustion gases to enter the coolant passages inside the block. This disrupts coolant circulation and may result in engine overheating.
Corrective action
Inspect the cylinder block on all vehicles. On any vehicle with a casting defect, replace the complete engine assembly with a conforming unit.
