Defect

In the engines used in heavy-duty trucks, repeated thermal and pressure loading on the piston combustion chamber wall causes cumulative damage that may result in cracking. Continued use allows the crack to propagate and perforate the combustion chamber wall. In the worst case, the resulting loss of engine output and emission of white smoke may render the vehicle inoperable.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, vehicle operating data is reviewed. Vehicles with high load frequency are repaired by replacing the engine with a conforming unit.
