Known issues by generation

It's crucial to verify that recall work has been completed and to test for any lifter noises. Additionally, the adaptive Bilstein dampers may experience wear, and documentation of appropriate preventive maintenance is essential for collectors. More importantly, the supercharger's performance components like the coupler isolator may require eventual replacement. This is vital for maintaining the car’s power and performance.
