What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake rotor securing screws) that may result in reduced braking ability and increased crash risk, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Automobili Lamborghini America LLC is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 Murcielago Coupes and Roadsters fitted with carbon ceramic brake discs. The recall involves 404 vehicles in the United States.

The stainless steel screws that secure the brake rotors may fail after being exposed to salty conditions. Failure of these securing screws may result in a reduction of braking ability, which increases the risk of a crash.
