Defect

On diesel vehicles, the turbocharger rotary shaft seal packing is improperly designed. Continued use during extended idling allows turbocharger lubricating oil to accumulate in the intake manifold. During acceleration, this oil is drawn into the combustion chamber and expelled as white smoke from the exhaust pipe. In the worst case, vehicle speed may temporarily become difficult to reduce.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the turbocharger bearing housing with a corrected part.
