Wet-belt risk on 1.2 engines. Debris can block the oil pickup, leading to vacuum pump failure and loss of braking assistance (Recall R/2020/331). 10-year UK warranty applies.
- i-Cockpit Display and Touchscreen GlitchesModerate
The i-Cockpit digital instrument cluster and central touchscreen can suffer from software lag, random reboots and settings resets. Early 2020 models are worst affected and may need a firmware update from a dealer.
- EAT8 Automatic Gearbox JudderModerate
The EAT8 torque-converter auto can develop a judder or shudder between 1st and 3rd gear, especially from cold. Software updates have been issued but some cars need mechatronic unit work.
