Lamborghini Recalls
Lamborghini, the Italian sports car manufacturer, recently announced a series of voluntary recalls on its Urus SUV models. The recalled models were sold during the 2016 and 2017 model year and are involved in six separate recalls. The discovery prompted the recall that the cars had a battery, the main component of the car’s power system, that could have suffered a fire due to a problem with the welds. The company said the recall was “in full scope and impact” and that dealers would replace the batteries free of charge.
Porsche Recalls
Porsche has recalled nearly 200,000 vehicles because of a possible defect in the fuel tank. The recall affects the 911, Boxster, Cayman, and Macan. The problem could occur if the car loses a total of more than 5.7 gallons of fuel. A “whiff” of gasoline could leak from the tank, igniting a fire. The recall covers 2011-2014 models shipped to dealerships in the U.S. and Canada and covers models built between August 2010 and November 2014.
Volkswagen Recalls
Volkswagen recalls a total of 4.3 million of its cars in the United States. This is the largest recall in the automaker’s history, and it is due to the failure of the company’s cruise control system. These vehicle models are between May 2005 and August 2015, and the concern is that the process for turning on and off the cruise control could be defective.
Conclusion
It is typical for companies to recall car parts, but luckily most manufacturers work to fix the problem quickly for consumers. The best way to find out about these recalls is to run your VIN through the manufacturer’s website, and it will show any current recalls. Most manufacturers find ways to inform customers about the recalls through email or whenever you go in for your next car service appointment.
