Known Issues

Active Aero Failure:

Actuators and control modules can fail, leading to non-operation of the active aero components.

Ecs Component Failure:

Electronically controlled suspension components (shocks, sensors, control units) are prone to failure over time.

Clutch Wear:

Heavy use or performance driving can lead to accelerated clutch wear, especially in manual transmission models.

Turbocharger Failure:

Degradation of turbo seals, oil leaks, and eventual failure can occur due to age and heat cycles, especially if not properly maintained.

Power Window Regulators:

Plastic components in the power window regulators can become brittle and break.

Heater Core Leaks:

Heater cores can develop leaks, often requiring dashboard removal for replacement.

Timing Belt Failure Consequences:

The 6G72 engine is an interference engine; timing belt failure will cause severe internal engine damage (bent valves, damaged pistons).
