Recalls
Models sold from 2 April 2012 to 31 December 2015 were recalled in June 2017, owing to suspected faults with the vehicles’ tailgategas springs.[10] Models sold from 1 June 2012 to 29 November 2013 were recalled in September 2017, owing to concerns that the windscreen wiper motors could fill with water and seize.[11]
