Faults

Common issues often encountered include poor noise insulation in the engine compartment and rapid development of microcracks leading to opacity in the factory windshield. Additionally, there are rare occurrences of weak fastening of the front wheel arch liners. Isolated cases involve poor sealing of headlights, resulting in fogging up during humid weather.
