Reason for recall: It has been identified that due to the use of an inappropriate material for the intercooler outlet pipe insulator it is possible for the intercooler outlet pipe insulation to detach from the throttle body. This may cause excessive deposition of carbon within the diesel particulate filter that may burn up and result in overheating or melting of the filter. In the worst case the filter may catch fire.
