Common Problems: SSANGYONG REXTON
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 4WD Vacuum Hub Failure(Moderate)
On older Rexton models (pre-2017), the vacuum seals in the front hubs can perish, preventing 4WD engagement.
- Fuel Injector Seizure(Serious)
On the 2.7L diesel (Mercedes-derived), injectors can seize into the cylinder head, making them extremely difficult to replace.
