They did an ecu update for more sensitive knock sensing and extended the engine warranty to 15yr/150k. I heard they replaced a ton of engines under warranty, but I can’t imagine that they changed much in the engine design. The problem is rod bearings failing and the engine seized. Some analysis showed that there could have still been machining debris in the engine from the factory or overall oiling issues. Lack of maintenance probably plays a factor as well. It looks like they were just poorly designed.














Well it’s not going to simultaneously be a bad time to buy and sell.
