Known Issues

Engine Apex Seals:

Can become clogged or fail, especially if the engine is misfiring or burning oil.

Starter Motor:

Some reports of starter motor issues, particularly in hot weather or after short trips where the engine hasn't fully warmed up (heat soak).

Oil Consumption:

Rotary engines naturally consume a small amount of oil, which is injected into the combustion chamber. However, excessive consumption can indicate seal wear.

Ignition Coils:

Can be a wear item and may require replacement if misfires are present.

Water Pump:

Can develop leaks over time and require replacement.
