Lamborghini, the Italian luxury manufacturer, is recalling more than 2,100 of its best-selling cars in the United States.
The recall concerns the Urus and is due to an issue with the hood closure formula. If the car is driven over 94 miles per hour, “small gaps between the hood and front rear may begin to develop” due to warped rivet bolts. Over time, at maximum speeds, this can also “cause the latch formula to fail and separate the firing pin from the hood latch,” according to the recall notice.
Lamborghini claims that the Urus is “the world’s first super-sports application vehicle, fusing the soul of a super-sports car with the practical capability of an SUV”. The 2024 Urus starts at $241,843, according to Car and Driver, which calls it an “honest price” but notes that it’s a “high-performance SUV” with a “decadent interior. “
Be a smarter, smarter investor.
If you own an Urus (good for you!), Lamborghini will notify you of the recall and you’ll want to take your car to a legal dealership. The dealer will inspect your vehicle and repair it at no cost if repair is mandatory for this problem. If you have already paid for this issue, you will be entitled to a refund.
While more than 2,000 SUVs are part of the recall, NHTSA says only about 2 percent are affected by this hood issue. Lamborghini also has a recall form on its online page where you can enter your car’s VIN to see if it is affected.
Last year, Lamborghini sold the most cars in its history, with more than 10,000 sold worldwide, adding 3,000 in the United States, according to Car and Driver. The Urus accounted for more than 6,000 of those sales.
This is just the most recent recall this year, which has been a great year in terms of recalls. There were 105 recalls in the first quarter of the year, affecting approximately 10 million cars. According to BizzCar, this included 17 Ford recalls. , 15 from Chrysler, and 8 from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. You can search for cars to check for recalls on the NHTSA website.
