Indeed, cleaning the front of the CAC (Charge Air Cooler) every year is important to air flow/engine temperature.

And if climbing long grades in over 100 degree temperatures, it may require using a little common sense in choosing a gear to keep engine RPM up to higher end of range and throttle a little less than WOT.
But, probably several million miles in those conditions by members here with DP's. Don't ignore the warning, but don't let it scare you off either.
