2014 rr sport < 73k miles now needs a new engine due to [three (3) passenger side] piston ring failure. Serviced only at dealer, received appropriate service at appropriate intervals. White/gray smoke appeared after oil change/80k mile service 03/21. Told smoke sometimes happens after oil change, no worries. I kept driving vehicle. Took to dealer twice, they couldn't replicate. After a month at dealer, they did boroscope which revealed striations. 90% cylinder leak down. Jlrusa says vehicle way out of warranty, not their problem. Dealer says not their problem, they did nothing wrong. I now have a 2. 5 ton paperweight just sitting at dealer. Repair costs well over 10k for new engine. Seems strange that these seals failed, all 3 passenger side, and this occurred with regular service at appropriate intervals at dealer with the correct engine oil. Someone is at fault and it's not owner.
