Consumer Description

I HAVE NOTICED ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS A STRONG SMELL OF DIESEL EXHAUST COMING INTO THE CAB OF MY TRUCK. IT DOES NOT SMELL LIKE THE EXHAUST EXITING THE REAR TAILPIPE (POST DPF/CATALYST). EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS BEEN WHEN I WAS STOPPED OR MOVING SLOW IN BOTH FORWARD OR REVERSE (ON A STREET, OR BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT). THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I THOUGHT IT WAS A SMELL COMING FROM A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, BUT THEN I FOUND THAT IT WAS HAPPENING WHEN THERE WERE NO OTHERS AROUND. I DID A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH, AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. *TR
