Відомий дефект: Engines produced before mid-2008 commonly develop oil leaks from plastic expansion plugs at the rear of the cylinder heads, and the intake manifold is prone to carbon build-up and flap/actuator failures.[2][5]
Відомий дефект (ГРМ): Early M273 engines, especially around 2006–2008, are known for rapid wear of timing/idler gear components leading to incorrect camshaft timing and requiring timing gear replacement, often before 60,000 miles.[2][5][6]
