Certain 2022 Model Year 3.5L GTDI Equipped Expedition, F-150 and Navigator Vehicles Heavy Grey/Blue Smoke and/or Oil from Exhaust Tailpipe(s). In some of the affected vehicles, itâ  s possible the left-hand turbo oil drain hole was incompletely drilled during the engine block machining process.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
