The Lamborghini Revuelto has received its second recall, this time for a fire risk. The first recall was issued last fall, due to a windshield wiper potentially failing.
The latest recall, which was published by the NHTSA on Dec. 19 (recall campaign number 24V945000), is due to oil potentially leaking from a connection flange from the engine’s oil circuit.
Lamborghini said the screws for the oil circuit connection flange may have been tightened improperly during production. An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source could lead to an engine fire.
Only two examples of the V-12 plug-in hybrid supercar are affected in the U.S., both of them 2024 models.
Lamborghini first became aware of the issue following a Revuelto fire in New York last fall. No one was injured in that incident. Lamborghini said it isn’t aware of any other incidents or injuries related to the issue.
The remedy involves the inspection and repair of the flange screws where necessary, a service dealers will perform free of charge.
Notification letters for owners of the two affected vehicles are expected to be mailed out on Feb. 7, but anyone looking for further information can contact Lamborghini at 1-866-681-6276 or visit Lamborghini’s recall page.
The Revuelto made its debut in early 2023, and while it may appear similar to its Aventador predecessor, it represents a ground-up redesign that, in addition to electrification, includes a new carbon-fiber tub, a new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and a newly developed V-12. The V-12 is a 6.5-liter unit that works with a trio of electric motors to generate a combined 1,000 hp. Lamborghini quotes performance numbers of 2.5 seconds in the 0-62 mph run and a top speed of 218 mph.
