Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive) Coolant Ingress & Bearing Failure(Serious)
On T8 Twin Engine and Recharge models, internal coolant seal leaks in the rear electric motor housing can cause bearing failure and high-voltage electrical shorts.
- D4/D5 PowerPulse Compressed Air Hose Rupture(Moderate)
The PowerPulse air hose delivering compressed air into the turbocharger exhaust manifold can split, producing a hissing sound and sluggish low-end torque.
