Recalls

2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Steering Vehicle recall #02V082000 · 2002 · 28 vehicles

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the lower steering column shaft coupling May have been installed onto the input shaft of the steering rack with too much clearance between the bottom of the coupling and the steering rack input shaft housing.

Why it matters: As a result, the lower steering column shaft coupling could separate from the input shaft of the steering rack, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will adjust, if necessary, the clearance between the lower steering column shaft coupling and the steering rack input shaft housing, and re-tighten the coupling locking bolt. Owner notification began April 1, 2002.

Steering Vehicle recall #03V375000 · 2003 · 245 vehicles

What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles, the torque applied to the joint screw between the steering wheel and the steering column was not certified.

Why it matters: Improper installation could result in the endangering of the steering functions.

The fix: Dealers will inspect every affected vehicle and, if necessary, adjust the steering shaft to manufacturing specifications. Owner notification began October 20, 2003. Owners should contact Lamborghini at 1-516-829-8694.
