In this Case there is a Lack of Enough Fire (Incomplete Fuel Combustion). The Biggest concern should be Excess Unburnt Fuel getting by the Piston Rings and deluting the Lubricating Oil and it's ability to properly lubricate the Engine Bearings.
I think more frequent Oil changes until they solve the problem would be a recommendation that the CAT folks would be making....
Good Luck all of you New CAT owners.

Since diesel fuel is a lubricant unlike gasoline which acts as a solvent, the diesel fuel should not effect the lubricating ability of your engine oil..

You can and probably should have your fluids tested regularly. I mean all fluids encluding your radiator fluids. This way you would know how your coach is aging . It may reduce major surprise break downs also. Another reason to do this is it could be a good selling point to have this data avaliable to the new buyer too.
Anyway I think you could find out that your smoking cat is just fine.

that the byproduct of diesel combustion is black soot, so your diesel engine is going to spew smoke; especially when under accelleration.
