Known Issues
Retractable Hardtop Mechanism: Potential for hydraulic leaks, motor failures, or sensor issues related to the complex roof mechanism. Regular lubrication and inspection are recommended.
Northstar Engine Nuances: While robust, early Northstar engines had potential head gasket issues. For the 2006 XLR, these were largely mitigated, but consistent maintenance is key. Coolant leaks, particularly from water pumps and thermostat housings, can occur.
Magnetic Ride Control: While advanced, MSRC components (shocks, sensors) can be costly to repair if they fail. Proper tire inflation and avoiding major impacts can help prolong their life.
