Enter the VIN (1).
Select “Vehicle details” (1).
Engine serial number is shown (2).

If the serial numbers do not match, then create a TSARA TeileClearing Hotline case with the numbers that
are shown on the engine block and wait for a response before proceeding with repairs.
Regardless, if you are requesting an engine repair or an engine replacement, each TSARA case requires
enclosing a photograph of the engine serial number.
To reduce processing time, also state the engine serial number in the case comments before submitting.
All engine serial numbers will be verified at the Warranty Part Return Center.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Only a Shop Foreman is authorized to approve the results of N63TU1 Class Action diagnosis and repair.
2. Complete the attached N63TU Oil Consumption Checklist along with the relevant photographs must be
submitted via a TSARA TeileClearing Hotline case titled “N63TU1 Class Action Consumption”.
3. Do not attach photographs which are not relevant, vague, not clear, and which are not providing a clear
evidence/source of an observed major leak. A TC case with an excessive number of poor-quality
photographs requires more time to process, resulting in a delayed response.
4. Please specify in the case details the photograph description. Renaming the photograph is not
necessary.
For example:
Front engine cover = X1234.jpg
Turbo inspection = X5678.jpg
5. The TSARA TeileClearing N63TU1 Class Action process has started on February 09, 2022. Weekend
and holiday submissions will be accepted but must wait for a response on the first business day before

described below.
7. Including follow-up/updates to the original TSARA TeileClearing case prior to performing any additional
related work that is found needed during the repair process.

9. Do not drain and measure the engine oil. Follow the applicable instructions to use the electronic oil level
measurement.
Measuring the engine oil level:

1. Do not drain and measure the engine oil. Follow the applicable instructions to use the
electronic oil level measurement.
Do not reprogram the vehicle.
The engine oil must be measured using the electronic measurement test plan called “Motor Oil Quantity”
found in ISTA/D.
Test Plan Path:
Select “Vehicle management”
Select “Powertrain”
Select “Engine electronics, quality control valve (MSV)
Select “Engine oil”
Select “ABL Motor oil quantity”
Select “Display”
Follow the onscreen prompts. The test plan will measure the engine oil in 100 ml increments.
Top up the engine oil accordingly and perform the test plan a second time (after topping) to ensure
the proper full engine oil level is reached.
The vehicle must be driven by the customer roughly 750 to 1,000 miles or until the next low engine oil
message appears (whichever comes first). After the customer returns the engine oil must be measured
again using the electronic measurement test plan called “Motor Oil Quantity” found in ISTA/D (see test plan
path above).
If the oil consumption is not greater than 1 liter per 750 miles, then top the engine oil and return the vehicle
to the customer.
OR:
If the engine oil consumption is greater than 1 liter per 750 miles, then proceed to step 2.
For additional information on oil consumption refer to B11 03 13.

2. The vehicle has returned for the oil consumption measurement:
Measure the oil consumption. Refer to the following attachments.

N63TU1 OC Instructions (resume the procedure at step 3 in this document)
N63TU1 Oil Consumption Checklist
Note: Document all results in the N63TU Oil Consumption Checklist simultaneously while following the
instructions.
Section 3 – Documenting the results of the visual inspection, failed oil consumption test and or
