Lamborghini Urus recalled due to a fire risk

The Lamborghini Urus is being recalled due to a potential fire risk. Documents submitted around the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website say the defect is due to the “integrity of the quick connector of the fuel line found in the engine compartment.” The connector can become compromised, which could result in fuel leakage.

Of course, where there is fuel leakage, there is also the chance of a fire from the engine bay. So how exactly does this quick connector become compromised, you may well ask? Lamborghini provides this being an explanation: “In rare instances high engine compartment temperatures subject the quick connectors to temperatures over the design operating specification limit. These elevated temperatures can lead to the quick connect material softening that could potentially result in a fuel leak.”

If one happens to own a Urus, the first sign of a problem is a fuel odor in the engine compartment. Lamborghini said hello became aware of the problem after Porsche AG identified it in 2021, and it is been tracking field vehicles since. In July this year, Lamborghini said it began to receive complaints from customers, which prompted a second investigation done by Lamborghini.

There are a total of 2,831 Urus being recalled, spanning model years 2021-2021. All those vehicles require to the dealer for a newly designed fuel line quick connector. Lamborghini says the labor time is only one hour, so you won't be without your Urus for long. All work is going to be taken care of free of charge. Owners should expect a notification on or before December 18 if their car is affected.
