The 2015 Lamborghini Aventador has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak risk and a wheel detachment risk — either of which can lead to a fire or a crash with little warning.
On the fuel side, certain driving conditions with a full tank can allow gasoline to reach the hot exhaust system, creating a fire risk while the car is in motion. The wheel recall affects SV Coupe and SV Roadster trims specifically: bolts that center and secure the brake discs to the wheel hub can loosen over time, and if they work loose enough, the wheel can separate from the car entirely. On the engine side, the motor can stall unexpectedly when the driver lifts off the throttle below 2,000 rpm while the transmission is automatically downshifting, which can leave the car without drive power at a moment when control is still needed.
