Automobili Lamborghini has initiated a safety recall affecting 39 units of the 2024 Huracan EVO Spyder sold in the United States. The recall stems from a manufacturing error that led to the incorrect installation of a crash protection bracket on the front structural member. Due to human error during the manual assembly process, the right side bracket was mistakenly mounted on the left side of the vehicle.
The issue was discovered on August 28, 2024, prompting an immediate investigation. Lamborghini subsequently determined that several additional vehicles may have been affected, including those produced between November 20, 2023, and July 26, 2024.
To rectify the problem, Lamborghini will re install the bracket correctly at no cost to affected owners. Notification letters will be sent out by November 15, 2024. As a precautionary measure, the company has halted production of the Huracan EVO Spyder and inspected all vehicles in its possession.
To prevent future occurrences, Lamborghini has implemented additional training for its assembly workers and implemented a more rigorous quality control process. The all new Temerario, a 4.0L twin turbo V8 plug in hybrid, has arrived with a mixed bag of reviews. While its flat-plane V8 boasts an impressive 10,000 rpm redline, its sound and styling have been met with some criticism.
Despite the Huracan’s commercial success with over 25,000 sales, the Temerario faces the challenge of matching its predecessor’s popularity. The Temerario’s V8 engine, penned by Mitja Borkert, offers a significant power boost compared to the naturally aspirated V8s of the Urraco, Silhouette, and Jalpa. The Jalpa, which ended production in 1988, was followed by the V10-powered Gallardo in 2003.
While the Gallardo initially featured a 5.0-liter V10, the facelifted model adopted Audi’s 5.2-liter FSI due to cost cutting measures. The Temerario’s V8, with a combined output of 907 horsepower, surpasses the Huracan’s most powerful version, which produces 632 horsepower.
