Bugatti Recalls Veyron Models Due to Inaccurate Fuel Gauge

Bugatti is recalling 2006-2011 Veyron and Veyron Grand Sport vehicles because the fuel gauge may display more fuel than is actually in the tank, increasing the risk of stalling and a crash.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Bugatti is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Veyron vehicles manufactured between March 10, 2006, and January 17, 2010, as well as 2010-2011 Veyron Grand Sport vehicles manufactured between September 29, 2009, and June 30, 2010. A total of 72 vehicles are affected by this recall.

The fuel tank gauge in these vehicles may indicate that there is more fuel in the tank than there actually is. This inaccuracy may cause a driver to unexpectedly run out of fuel, causing the vehicle to stall and increasing the risk of a crash.

Bugatti will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tank control unit and upgrade the software free of charge. The recall began on May 23, 2016. Owners may contact Bugatti at 1-805-557-1050 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
