1 known fault

2.0 Xdi 141 manuelle

  1. Front suspension ball joints (recall)

    Manufacturer recall

    The ball joints of the front suspension lower arms can be damaged; if they break, there is a risk of accident (Australian recall in 2015 for Actyon Sports built before January 2008). In South Korea, a 2014 recall covered the ball joints of four models including the Actyon Sports built between June 2005 and November 2010, with a risk of the wheel separating from the axle. Free repair was offered at SsangYong dealers at the time: have the serial number checked.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
