Noone is immune. The reason you hear about it more on pickups is due to how its driven 90% of the time. The 6.0 vane issue was soot buildup OR light surface rusting in some cases (usually where the truck sat unused for long periods of time.)
The 6.7 has had soot buildup issues, even seen it on duramax, my old cummins ISC in my monaco, seen it happen on many different engine types in delivery and tow trucks due to the idling they are required to run the PTO and heavy traffic they endure regularly.
Most of the sooting problems pickup owners have can be avoid by finding a way to get out on the hightway and cruise for 15-20 minutes, it builds up the heat needed to help burn off the soot. But once it gets past a point nothing short of a proper cleaning can help it.
