Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 3.0L (4JX1) Injector Seal Failure(Serious)

- Catastrophic Chassis Rot(Serious)
Troopers are unfortunately famous for chassis rot. Many have been scrapped because the chassis rails simply disintegrated.
- Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) Failure(Moderate)
Later manual models use a DMF that can fail, leading to vibration and expensive repairs.
