What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Bugatti is recalling certain 2006-2010 Veyron, 2010-2012 Veyron Grand Sport, and 2011-2013 Veyron Super Sport vehicles. The recall covers vehicles manufactured between March 10, 2006, and August 17, 2012, depending on the specific model. The defect involves underbody aluminum reference plates used for lifting the vehicle, which may corrode and detach from the car.

If these jacking plates separate from the vehicle while driving, they may become a road hazard. The detached plates could potentially strike another vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall began on May 26, 2016.

Bugatti will notify owners, and dealers will rivet and seal the underbody aluminum reference plates free of charge. Owners may contact Bugatti at (805) 557-1050 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
