Sorry to hear about the problem in your vehicle Dhruv.

Turbo Chargers normally don't fail very quickly. There are 2 factors that limit the life of a turbo charger - Inadequate cooling and more importantly inadeqaute lubrication.

Since your vehicle is brand new it is highly unlikely for either of the above to have occoured and I was most surprised at the initial diagnosis.

However sensor failures are quite common even on new vehicles and this seems the most probable cause in your case.

I hope your vehcile is back in action soon.

Drive safe.
