What to watch for

What can go wrong on this car?

The list covers the generation, the engines and the transmissions. Once you pick the version, only the faults that apply to it stay.

This model has no fault write-up yet. That does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups go out after review.

The manufacturer fixes these for free at a franchised dealer. Ask with the VIN whether it was done. The list covers the whole generation. We did not filter it by model year. Some apply only to a narrower production window.

SR/01711/25Safety recallInjuries10 April 2025 · EU Safety Gate

The screw connection of the rod end and of the control arm may be defective on one side of the front axle. The nuts of the control arm may have been used to fasten the rod ends, and the nuts of the track rod may have been used to fasten the control arm. When braking or accelerating, a loss of pre-tensioning force may occur and consequently the nuts may loosen due to the lack of ribbing. Over time, bolts on the ball joint or the control arm may break off once the nuts on the control arm have loosened. This causes a risk of accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

Common questions

About this generation

2022–. The changeover year can fall in two generations. If the listing is from that year, look at the neighbour too.

No. It depends on the engine and the transmission too.

Is it free?

The fault list is.

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
