The 2008 Bugatti Veyron has 3 recalls, the most serious being a corroded positive battery cable connection at the alternator that can overheat and start a fire.
The remaining two recalls cover a structural and a fuel system concern. Jacking plates on the underside of the vehicle can separate while driving and become road debris, posing a collision risk to other vehicles. The fuel gauge on certain Veyrons can read higher than the actual fuel level, leaving the driver unaware the tank is nearly empty and causing the engine to stall without warning.
