Known repair issues
- Limited model coverage in self-repair program. iFixit and right-to-repair advocates have noted that Motorola's genuine parts catalog is narrower than Samsung's or Google's, with several budget models and older Razr foldables not covered.
- Software update support windows. Many mid-range Moto G devices have historically received only 1-2 OS updates and 3 years of security patches, shortening the useful life of a repaired device relative to flagships.
