- TD5 Injector Harness Oil MigrationSerious
Oil seeps along the injector wiring harness into the ECU red plug connector, causing rough running, misfires and potential ECU damage.
- Air Suspension and ACE System FailuresSerious
Self-levelling suspension (SLS) air bags perish and compressors fail. The ACE system leaks from corroded pipes, causing handling issues and expensive repairs.
- Three Amigos (ABS/TC/ HDC Warnings)Moderate
The ABS, Traction Control, and Hill Descent Control warning lights illuminate together. Usually caused by ABS sensor failures but can indicate more expensive 4WD system issues.
