Lotus Recalls — Canada & USA

Lotus has 7 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1976 through 2024. Across those models, 29 recall campaigns are recorded, and the severity distribution skews heavily toward the upper tiers under the severity rating system: 59% of campaigns carry a Critical rating and another 10% fall into the High tier, meaning roughly 69% of all recorded campaigns involve consequences such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, or serious injury potential. Only 7% land in the Medium tier, and 24% fall into Low, with no Informational campaigns recorded at all.

The Esprit leads the lineup with 10 recalls spanning its long production run, making it the most-recalled model in the database. The Elise and Evora each follow with 6 recalls apiece, together accounting for a substantial portion of the total campaign count across a lineup of just 7 models. Because the overall recall count is relatively small, the concentration of Critical-rated campaigns carries particular weight: more than half of every campaign recorded for the brand sits in that top tier. The remaining models in the lineup, while carrying fewer individual campaigns, contribute to a picture where Critical and High ratings dominate across nearly the entire breadth of Lotus recall history represented here.
