The fault
How you spot it
On cars built in 2017 and 2018 the front suspension mounting bolts were not tightened to the specified torque, and they can work loose over time. This affects the stability of the car, so it is safety critical. A recall covers it: tied to the VIN and free of charge.

How we know
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.
