Recent news regarding Lamborghini is treading on a negative tone. Setbacks for the auto company is relayed to fire risk and the possible recall valuing $6.3m.
According to Stuff, the recall covers the NZ$550,000 Aventador and the Veneno models which sold for between NZ$5.6 million to NZ$6.3m and the Veneno recall is not that big with only 12 examples exist of the 12-cylinder, 750-horsepower models that Lamborghini billed as a "street-legal racing car.
The same report cited that, Lamborghini said faults in the Aventador's evaporative emissions control system could cause fuel vapours to not be treated properly and combined with "particular maneoeuvres" such as "engine over-revving at idle," fuel vapours could contact hot gasses and lead to a fire risk, especially with a not approved aftermarket exhaust system.
In a different note, Fox added on to note that all of the roughly 5,900 of the $400,000-plus supercars manufactured from 2011 to 2016 need to be repaired due to a fire risk caused by a flaw in their evaporative emissions control system, including the 1,453 sold in the United States.
Cars with overfilled tanks that have their engines revved when stationary are at particular risk, and fitting an aftermarket exhaust system just makes matters worse and a new purge valve will be installed to remedy the issue, as further noted by the same post.
For the car enthusiasts out there, the recall of the Lamborghini cars spawned worries. As of the moment, measures are implemented to ensure that loss of life and safety risks are prevented.
