Two Lamborghini Revuelto Has Been Recalled Over Fire Risk

Two owners of the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto will soon need to visit a dealership. The manufacturer is recalling just two units of its brand-new supercar due to a potential oil leak that poses a fire hazard. The problem may stem from an oil flange connection situated between the oil tank and the radiator.

 

Lamborghini initiated an investigation following a Revuelto that caught fire in New York City in October. They conducted an early December inspection, revealing signs of an oil leak in the engine bay.

 





The recall report indicates that an internal review found the affected vehicle had undergone a production rework on its oil circuit system without confirmation that the worker properly tightened the screws. Additionally, Lamborghini identified two other Revueltos in the US with the same issue, prompting the recall of these vehicles as a precaution due to the potential safety risk.

The company said it is unaware of accidents, injuries, or additional fires related to the issue. Lamborghini will notify the affected owners by early February, instructing them to visit a dealer where a technician will inspect the screws and tighten them if necessary.

The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s newest flagship, replacing the Aventador. It’s a plug-in hybrid, too, with a 6.5-litre V-12 and three electric motors making 1,001 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. It can hit 62 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds and reach 218 mph.
