Official summary

Certain vehicles listed below equipped with 2.5T turbo engines may have a misassembled check valve for the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, resulting in engine oil entering the intake and contaminating the air cleaner. This bulletin describes the procedure to clean the air intake system and replace the PCV check valve and air cleaner.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
