Plain-English summary

Lamborghini is recalling certain model year 2012 Aventador vehicles manufactured between July 15, 2011, and April 20, 2012. The recall involves 144 vehicles that may have headlights capable of horizontal aiming but not vertical aiming, failing to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108.

The defect could result in incorrect headlamp aim, which may reduce the driver's visibility or blind oncoming traffic. These conditions may increase the risk of a crash.

Lamborghini will notify owners, and dealers will enable the vertical aiming and disable the horizontal aiming of the headlights free of charge. Owners may contact Lamborghini at 1-866-681-6276 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
