1 recall across 1 model year
The Lotus Elite has 1 recall affecting the 1976 model year, where a rubber valve stem on the high-speed tires can split and cause sudden tire deflation, making the vehicle difficult to control and raising the risk of a crash.
When the valve stem fails, the tire loses pressure rapidly rather than gradually, giving the driver little time to react before handling is compromised.
