What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where fuel contact with the exhaust system increases the risk of a fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Automobili Lamborghini is recalling certain 2012-2017 Aventador Coupe and Aventador Roadster vehicles. The recall involves 1,453 vehicles in the United States.

In certain driving conditions while the vehicle has a full gas tank, gasoline may contact the exhaust system. Gasoline contact with an ignition source such as a hot exhaust system can increase the risk of a fire.

Lamborghini will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the fuel tank's evaporative emissions system, free of charge. The recall began in February 2017. Owners may contact Lamborghini customer service at 1-866-681-6276 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
