Defect in the engine (oil strainer). ■ Defective component (part name): Engine (oil strainer). ■ Conditions of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards, and their causes: The mesh openings of the oil strainer installed in the oil supply line to the turbocharger are too small, which may cause oil deposits to accumulate on the strainer.
