Key Takeaways

  • The primary ownership concern is the fuel system fire risk; ensure all related recalls have been thoroughly addressed.
  • Engine stalling during deceleration is another critical issue; verify the software update recall for this problem has been completed.
  • A recall for loose brake disc centering bolts, while low severity, points to potential fastener integrity issues that should be checked.
  • Despite its performance, the combined 12 MPG means high fuel costs are a constant companion.
