Lynk & Co 01 problems (2021–today)
The Lynk & Co 01 (plug-in hybrid, in Europe since 2021) does not yet have a broad track record. Outside the engine, the European sources point to infotainment faults, 12 V batteries that fail early and a charging flap that sticks in the cold; the CMA platform is shared with the Volvo XC40 and Polestar 2. The manufacturer also lists a campaign for the timing belt on the 01.[1][2][3][4]
