Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to transfer force; leaks can lead to a loss of braking power.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components, especially in heavy-duty vehicles, can reduce braking efficiency.

Abs failure

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors or control modules may fail, leading to loss of ABS functionality.

Worn brake pads

Regular wear and tear can lead to the brake pads becoming too thin, reducing braking effectiveness.

Engine overheating

The in-line 6-cylinder engine may overheat due to coolant leaks, radiator issues, or thermostat failures.

Turbocharger issues

Given the high horsepower, the turbocharger may be prone to wear, leading to reduced engine performance.

Fuel system problems

Fuel injectors or the fuel pump may fail, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Egr valve issues

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged, leading to reduced engine efficiency and increased emissions.

Dpf clogging

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can become clogged, leading to increased backpressure and reduced performance.

Transmission wear

The increased torque from the powerful engine can lead to accelerated wear on the transmission components.

Sensor failures

Various engine sensors (e.g., oxygen sensor, mass air flow sensor) can fail, leading to incorrect engine management and reduced performance.
