The 2016 Lamborghini Aventador has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak risk where gasoline can contact the hot exhaust system with a full tank, and a wheel detachment risk on SV Coupe and SV Roadster trims where brake disc centering bolts can loosen over time and allow a wheel to separate from the vehicle. On the drivetrain side, the engine can stall unexpectedly when the accelerator is released at low rpm during an automatic downshift, leaving the driver without power in traffic or on the road.
