Defect

On route buses, the turbocharger compressor wheel has insufficient strength to withstand rotational fluctuations in the turbocharger.

Continued operation may cause white smoke emission and loss of power output, rendering the vehicle unable to operate.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the turbocharger with the corrected part.
