Yep.. the downside to VM3.0 overseas manufactured. Its fixable TX is a long way from MN, Some dealership just won't tie up the tech for the work time to Stationary de-soot the system and the update time to the modules.
I see this all the time, The Dealer (May) try and charge for it... and in order to remove the message take someone who know what they are doing and about 2hrs of work time to successfully delete.
They will flash it, the vehicle legally cannot be operated on Americas roadways W/O the flash.

Follow the recommendation in Post 21 to have both the Plenum and EGR replace, have the tech check the intake valves for warping and if they are you should demand engine replacement.
Banks does not add to the soot, take it to dealer and complain that its surging and loosing coolant, the EGR and Plenum will be replace, do this every 30-40K miles (BC it will be completely sooted up) and hope your rotating mass survives until 120K and dump the bit***.
Make sure you collect...
Some EDs have lasted, over 300K miles, those are 80-90% HWY miles.
