Common Problems: SSANGYONG TURISMO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Front Shock Absorber Bush Deterioration and Tyre Rubbing(Serious)
Early Turismos manufactured between March and November 2014 were subjected to an official DVSA safety recall regarding defective front shock absorbers and degraded mounting bushes. Premature deterioration of the lower shock absorber rubber bushes creates excessive lateral movement in the suspension strut assembly. Under full steering lock or heavy braking over bumps, the front tyre contacts the inner wheelarch liner, causing metallic banging and potential tyre sidewall damage.
- Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint Premature Wear and Separation Risk(Serious)
Due to the Turismo's 2.1-tonne kerb weight and long front overhang, the front lower suspension ball joints endure significant pounding on UK roads. A sub-standard batch of factory ball joints fitted between March 2014 and January 2015 prompted a manufacturer recall due to risks of catastrophic joint failure and wheel collapse. Worn ball joints produce loud creaks over speed cushions, wandering steering, and MOT failure.
- Transfer Box and Differential Lubricant Neglect on 4WD Models(Moderate)
Four-wheel-drive EX and ELX variants utilize a selectable BorgWarner transfer case and front/rear differential setup that requires fluid renewal every three to four years. Non-specialist garages frequently overlook these driveline service requirements. Depleted or contaminated oil causes internal clutch pack binding, loud whining at motorway speeds, and sticking electric actuator motors that prevent the vehicle from dropping out of 4WD on dry tarmac.
