Recalls
In June 2017, vehicles sold between 2 April 2012 and 31 December 2015 were recalled due to potential issues with the tailgate gas springs. Additionally, in September 2017, models sold from 1 June 2012 to 29 November 2013 were recalled because of concerns that water ingress could cause windscreen wiper motors to seize.
