The turbocharger oil supply strainer can become blocked, causing wear to the bearings due to a lack of lubrication.
Worn bearings can cause the turbine wheel to contact the turbocharger housing or cause the shaft to break, causing an engine stall and increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Dealers will replace the oil strainer and perform an oil change free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 20, 2022.
