Description of the problem | Catastrophic exhaust gas record valve (egr) and egr cooler failures which resulted in plastic intake manifold failure. Egr cooler severely plugged with soot/carbon well below mileage period of federal emissions warranty. No specified service requirements for this egr system. Damage resulted in substantial loss of power, unable to maintain minimum speed on interstate 85 when intake manifold failure occurred. Visible black smoke/soot was being emitted from exhaust under acceleration during this failure, clearly not in compliance with emissions standards. |
