There were several recalls, accelerator pedal sticking, check throttle body bolts and intake tube tightness, rear heat shield,not a recall but clutch cover and possibly clutch replacement. If they are new and at the dealer they should be taken care of. Some of the later models were retrofitted. As far as design changes I don't know of any but I am by far no expert. Welcome from Mississippi, someone with more knowledge than I can probably help you. There is a lot of good info on this sight.
