The 2002 Lamborghini Murcielago has 2 recalls, both involving the steering system, where separate defects can each compromise the driver's ability to control the vehicle. The steering wheel attachment screw may not have been tightened to the correct torque, which can allow the steering wheel to become loose or fail to transmit input to the column. A second issue involves the lower steering column shaft coupling, which may have been fitted with too much clearance against the steering rack input shaft and can separate entirely, leaving the driver with no steering control.
