Additionally, the MDS lifter failure is historically noted across the platform, making recall verification essential. Watch for premature brake wear on the Brembo system and fatigue in the driveshaft from aggressive launch-control use. Thorough documentation regarding the vehicle’s history, particularly around maintenance and recalls, is crucial for preserving its collector value.
