The hazard
On certain coaches equipped with Detroit Diesel 60 series engines, the turbocharger can fail, allowing lubricating oil to enter the exhaust system. This can result in an engine compartment fire, possibly resulting in personal injuries. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Electronic Control Module (ECM) and install a barometric pressure sensor. The updated ECM calibration will detect a turbocharger wheel failure. The logic will then reduce fuel to the engine and safely shut it down to prevent a fire.
