Defect
On turbocharged vehicles, the routing position and corrosion protection treatment of the coolant feed pipe supplying coolant to the turbocharger are inadequate. Driving in areas where road salt or de-icing agents are used exposes the pipe to salt water, causing corrosion. As corrosion progresses, a hole may form in the pipe, resulting in a coolant leak.
Corrective action
Replace the coolant feed pipe with the corrected part.
