Defect
On route buses, the turbocharger compressor wheel has insufficient strength to withstand rotational fluctuations in the turbocharger. Repeatedly accelerating the engine into the high-rpm range during vehicle launch can damage the compressor wheel. 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.
