The 2002 Lamborghini Murciélago has two recalls, both involving the steering column: separate points along the steering shaft can disconnect, causing the driver to lose all steering control.
The upper steering column coupling can separate from the steering input shaft if the connecting bolts were not tightened sufficiently, leaving the steering wheel with no mechanical link to the front wheels. A related issue affects the lower end of the column, where the shaft coupling may have been installed with excessive clearance against the steering rack housing, allowing it to work free over time. Either failure leaves the driver unable to steer.
