When that happens, it can also kill the pump causing fuel starvation. This is because there is a metal-to-metal contact inside the pump, which causes metal fragments to travel in the fuel system. Many Bosch CP4 and CP4.2 fuel pumps have been replaced by Bosch CP3 pumps.
Despite producing lower fuel pressure, the CP3 pumps seem to reduce the problems with the CP4 pumps. Some suggest that using different diesel fuel treatments after each or every other filling will reduce the chances of failure.

A partial recall of the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel was released in 2019. The problem at the time was problems with exhaust gas recirculation or the EGR coolant. EGR coolant lowers heat and pressure by reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. There is even a lawsuit pending over this issue.
This lawsuit was filed in 2020. Since then, many suggestions and discoveries have been made to postpone the trial. The trial date is set for the end of 2023.
