THE TURBOCHARGER COMPRESSOR BACKPLATE RETAINING FASTENERS MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY TORQUED. SHOULD THESE FASTENERS COME LOOSE, OIL COULD LEAK INTO THE COMPRESSOR AIR SIDE OF THE TURBOCHARGER. THE GREAT QUANTITY OF OIL ENTERING THE TURBOCHARGER COMPRESSOR THROUGH A PATH CREATED BY BACKPLATE FASTENER LOOSENING COUPLED WITH HEAT PRECIPITATED BY THE COMPRESSOR AND THE MIXING ACTION OF THE COMPRESSOR WHEEL, MAY RESULT IN AN AIR/OIL MIXTURE THAT FUELS THE ENGINE. THIS COULD RESULT IN ENGINE RUN-ON, SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF OPERATOR THROTTLE CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH.rnCORRECTION: SUSPECT TURBOCHARGERS WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW TURBOCHARGER.
