Recall 719: Replacement of check valve and banjo bolt
Background
Affected cars have two faults that could eventually affect emission control:
^
The check valve for the crankcase ventilation can stick, pressurizing the crankcase, and forcing oil into the combustion chamber.
^
The flow of coolant through the turbo unit may be reduced, which results in the temperature becoming so high that the engine oil crystallizes (builds
carbon deposits) around the turbine-side bearing. Over time these deposits reduce the oil flow through the bearing, which means that engine oil is
forced past the turbine shaft seal and out into the exhaust pipe.
This MI describes the procedure for preventing excessive emissions and damage to the turbo unit. Cars in stock must be remedied before delivery.
