I took my vehicle in for service due to some CELs and messages to service the electronic throttle body. Also went into limp mode.

Along with diagnosing my vehicle with a bad crank position sensor and tone wheel, they're recommending a fuel injector cleaning service (see below).

This snippet has me curious.

"PER STAR CASE FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING SERVICE NEEDS PERFORMED FOR CODES LISTED ABOVE BEFORE ANY POSSIBLE FUEL INJECTOR REPLACEMENT"

Does anyone know what this star case is tied to? The fuel pump recall potentially? I'm trying to assess whether or not this is just an upsell add on to my warranty service or something I need to get serviced. 2020 ecodiesel with 50k miles.

Thanks in advance.

is this $152 can of $10 fuel injector cleaner covered under warranty before warranty injector replacement? ? My dealer wanted $300 to dump a can of injector in mine as regular maintenance. With 18k miles on the truck! Nice try!

You can ask them instead of used there stuff if using a Qt of BG 245 Premium Diesel Fuel System Cleaner is acceptable
