Hazard

The turbocharger oil return pipe mounting bracket has an improper structure, which can cause the mounting bolts to loosen and create a micro-gap at the mounting point. If operation continues in this condition, lubricating oil leaking through the gap may drip onto the exhaust manifold, potentially causing smoke generation.
