So far it’s just the silver one. They were purchased 6 months apart.

Has anyone experiencing this smoke issue also experienced a significant drop in power? Low oil pressure light, and/or check engine light?

I have been experiencing a rough idle, a little white smoke under hard acceleration, and loss of power. Took the truck in several times, and each time the dealer thought it had to do with the camshaft positioning sensor, fuel rail, and PCV valve. Each time they also noted that the vehicle was low on oil. Found out that the loss of power was due to a low oil level & low oil pressure. Even though I have been changing the oil every 3,000 miles. The engine & turbos are consuming an immense amount of oil to the point that they need to be replaced.

Anyone else had their engine and/or turbos replaced for a similar warranty issue?

Yes, after multiple trips to the dealer, and several parts being replaced (camshaft positioning sensors, cam cover seals, PCV value, fuel rail, spark plugs, connectors, etc.) they have determined that I need a new engine, and two new turbos.......

Well that's certainly not a cheap fix. I'm sure you just had an engine with some defects and it's not an inherent issue in the design of the engine or else this thread would be 50 pages long by now.
