Description of the problem | The vehicle lost oil pressure. The vehicle had to be towed. It was found that the front seal had failed resulting in loss of 4 quarts of oil. When evaluated at a repair facility they found that the crankshaft had failed and was pushing the front seal out. I was told that a technical service bulletin was available to tell dealers how to fix the problem. I have found references in posts to others having a similar failure in this engine. |
