Filing in context

For scale, 459 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 4 months.
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.
