Recurring issues across various years primarily involved tyre conditions, including tread depth and signs of damage, as well as brake wear. While these issues are not unique to the Karoq and can affect many vehicles, the data indicates that shock absorber failures were notably frequent, especially in models from 2019 to 2022.
