Defect
The closure material of the engine plugs might fail as a result of high engine oil pressures, which may occur during hard driving. This could result in oil leaks. If enough oil leaks, there will be a red warning message illuminated in the instrument cluster. If the warning message is ignored, the engine could run dry, which can result in stalling and engine damage.
