Vehicle Weaknesses

WeaknessCost
!Control Arm Rubber Bushings Prematurely Worn

The rubber bushings in the upper control arms wear prematurely, in some cases from as early as 60,000–80,000 km. The issue is said to have been fixed only with the 2019 facelift.

Symptoms: Knocking or clattering from the front axle, unsettled handling, vehicle pulling slightly to one side
from 70,000 km
Medium
!Premature Inner Tyre Flank Wear

Certain 19-inch tyre combinations on the B9 lead to premature wear on the inner flanks. The cause is a suspension setup not optimally tuned for larger wheels. Regular wheel alignment recommended.

Symptoms: One-sided tyre wear on the inside, shorter tyre life than expected with 19-inch tyres
from 30,000 km
Medium
