This generation's rear suspension recall (Campaign 21V473000) has left some vehicles unrepaired for years due to parts unavailability, with "Service Rear Axle" warnings preceding vehicle swaying and loss-of-control incidents — and some owners report that a dealership would not perform the recall repair. Separately, owners report that recall repairs have themselves created new safety problems. Similar reports appear on the BMW X3 and X5. A panoramic sunroof also spontaneously fractured on this generation.
