Known issues by generation

Additionally, the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifter failures should be monitored, as well as potential wear in the TorqueFlite 8HP70 transmission. Owners should also check the durability of the adaptive Bilstein shocks and the electronic locking rear differential actuator for any signs of wear. Preventive maintenance documentation is essential for maintaining its collector status.
