Attention Lamborghini Urus owners in the United States: A recent safety advisory issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) warrants your awareness. This advisory pertains to 2,133 vehicles and underscores a safety concern affecting approximately two percent of these vehicles.
Specifically, the advisory draws attention to a potential issue concerning the hood latch striker in the Urus Performante models. This defect, if left unaddressed, could lead to the unintended opening or detachment of the hood while the vehicle is in motion. The root cause of this problem has been traced back to the supplier, Bucci Composites Spa.
Notably, Lamborghini has encountered two warranty claims related to misalignment between the carbon fiber hood and the fenders, prompting a thorough investigation. Subsequently, in response to their findings, Lamborghini has initiated a voluntary recall aimed at rectifying this issue for the safety and peace of mind of Urus owners.
In an effort to ensure the safety and satisfaction of its customers, Lamborghini has initiated a recall process for certain vehicle models. Affected owners will soon receive notification letters, slated to be mailed out on June 28, 2024.
These letters will provide detailed instructions on scheduling a visit to an authorized dealer for a thorough inspection and any necessary repairs. Lamborghini is committed to covering the costs of these repairs, which may include the installation of a striker support plate if deemed necessary.
Moreover, owners who have already taken independent action to address the issue will be eligible for reimbursement upon submission of receipts. For additional information or assistance, owners are encouraged to reach out to Lamborghini customer service at 1-866-681-6276, referencing recall number L636-R.02.24, or to contact the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
