Lamborghini Revuelto recalled in Australia amid lethal risk
This million-dollar Aussie supercar has been urgently recalled over a design fault that Lamborghini warns could cause severe injury.
Lamborghini has recalled its new flagship Revuelto supercar due to fears its doors could unexpectedly slam down on occupants, posing a risk of severe injury.
The recall states that pins supporting the iconic Revuelto doors may fail, potentially causing them to drop unexpectedly onto passengers or become difficult to open.

According to the recall notice, Lamborghini Revuelto vehicles manufactured between 2023 and 2024 are affected.
The supercar retails for more than $1m.
The notice, submitted to the Australian Department of Infrastructure, states that “the pin supporting the door gas springs may not have been assembled according to manufacturing specifications, which could cause it to become loose or detach.”
“If this occurs when in the open position, the door may descend downwards with significant force on the driver or passenger.
“Additionally, excess force may be required to open the door from the inside of the vehicle, and the occupant may need extra time to exit the vehicle.
“In the event of an emergency, if the occupant is unable to exit the vehicle quickly and/or if the door descends with force on the driver or passenger, it will increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.”

Automobili Lamborghini says it will notify all affected owners.
Affected owners are instructed to arrange an appointment with an authorised Lamborghini dealer to inspect the tightening of the door gas spring pins. A free fix will be provided.
