2 known faults

2.2 e-XDi 181 boîte manuelle

  1. Recall: cooling fan fuse

    Manufacturer recall

    An Australian recall (2025 campaign) concerns Musso and Rexton cars from 2020-2024: a manufacturing defect can cause the engine cooling fan fuse to fail, with a risk of overheating and sudden loss of traction. The recall covers vehicles delivered in Australia; our sources do not establish whether it applies to vehicles sold in France, so the serial number should be checked with a network repairer.

    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).

  2. Electronic faults (cameras, air conditioning)

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    A Polish used-car guide considers the electronics of the Y400 "temperamental over small faults", rarely critical. Australian owners mention camera faults and the replacement of the air-conditioning compressor, covered by warranty.
