The hazard
On certain vehicles equipped with four-cylinder diesel engines, the timing chain tensioner gasket could fail, causing an oil leak. If the vehicle is operated in this condition, this could cause engine failure, which would result in a loss of motive power. Oil leaking onto hot engine surfaces could also increase the risk of a fire. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the timing chain tensioner gasket.
