    STEERING BOX MAY FAIL

    Defect

    Seizure of vehicle steering box resulting in sudden and unexpected loss of steering control of the vehicle. Issue came to light on the investigation of two customer vehicles which experienced the above symptoms. In both cases LTI Vehicles were able to confirm the symptoms and establish the root cause as a displaced retention circlip within the working mechanism of the steering box.

    Remedy

    LTI Vehicles will inform customers of this potential issue and recommend that they stop using their vehicle. A refurbished steering box will be supplied and fitted on all of the affected vehicles as soon as validated parts become available.

    RISK OF FIRE

    Defect

    As part of continuous product monitoring Automobili Lamborghini Spa has found that in rare cases of persistent severe load conditions and mechanical stress due to fluid pressure into the power steering system a little hole might develop in the pipe. This could result in a small fluid leakage.

    Remedy

    Replace the power steering high pressure line.

    REAR SEATBELTS MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY

    Defect

    It is possible the lower seat belt mounting may have been incorrectly installed on the central mounting of the two forward facing seats in the dinette area of the vehicle. It is therefore possible that the mounting may come undone under extreme strain.

    Remedy

    Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of the seat belt mounting. Remedial work on the mounting will be carried out as required.

    DRAWBAR BEAM MAY CRACK

    Defect

    It is possible reinforcing plates for the drawbar mounting on the trailer may have been manufactured out of brittle steel. This has resulted in fractures around the mounting point on the trailer. If this was not identified during routine maintenance a trailer detachment could have occured.

    Remedy

    Recall the affected trailer and rework the drawbar mounting on the chassis.

    ENGINE MAY FAIL

    Defect

    In individual cases the oil pump may no longer provide the required oil pressure. This may cause severe engine damage. Additionally the occurrence of critical driving situations cannot be ruled out because the oil pressure may drop suddenly while driving. The driver will usually notice a drop in the engine oil pressure due to the check control message ''Low oil Pressure''. It is also possible the engine block will be damaged and as a result engine oil may be lost.

    Remedy

    The oil pump will be replaced with the correct version.

    THROTTLE MAY STICK IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION

    Defect

    On affected vehicles there may be inadequate clearance between the engine cover and the speed control cable which could cause the throttle to stick when the accelerator pedal is fully or almost fully depressed.

    Remedy

    The engine cover will be modified as detailed in the associated service instructions and a revised rear stud and grommet assembly installed to raise the cover to provide additional clearance.

    RISK OF FIRE

    Defect

    Water can enter in the front passenger footwell. The cause of this was found to be incompletely installed stop plugs at the cab under the windscreen wiper recess trim. If this fault exists water can penetrate behind the sealing of the cab/chassis connecting point. In the worst case contact corrosion and corresponding consequential damage e.g. short circuits and undefined current paths with high current flows may occur at plug contacts wiring harness and a sensor not designed to be watertight.

    Remedy

    Check affected vehicles to see whether all planned stop plugs are installed under the windshield wiper recess trim. Any missing stop plugs will be retrofitted.

    POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING

    Defect

    It is possible that the steering wheel boss may not have been produced to the correct specification. If a higher than normal loading is applied to the steering wheel in its normal operation it is possible that the steering wheel boss may separate from the steering column. This can result in a loss of steering control.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to check and if necessary replace the steering wheel assembly.

    BRAKE PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED

    Defect

    It is possible that a number of vehicles may have had the brake system filled with the incorrect brake fluid which can cause corrosion in the hydraulic ABS modulator. This can cause internal valves to stick which can result in possible longer brake pedal travel. In extreme cases this could result in increased brake pedal travel and stopping distances.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to check the ABS modulator and to replace the brake fluid. If found defective replace the hydraulic ABS modulator.

    LOSS OF CONTROL

    Defect

    The tightening torque of a mounting bolt at the right front brake calliper holder of the vehicle may not meet internal specifications. If the tightening torque does not correspond to specification contact of the brake calliper holder with the rim upon braking cannot be ruled out. The controllability of the vehicle could therefore be impaired.

    Remedy

    Check the tightening of the brake calliper holder and correct if necessary.

    REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE

    Defect

    Investigations have identified the wiper arm mechanism may chafe against the brake booster vacuum line. If this chafing occurs it could lead to a gradual reduction of the power assisted braking and more effort would need to be applied to the brake pedal than usual to slow the vehicle down. In a worst case the reduction of braking assistance could occur suddenly without any prior warning

    Remedy

    Inspect the brake booster vacuum line. If it is chafed then it should be replaced and routed correctly. If the line is not chafed it should re-routed to ensure no issues going forward.
