6 recalls across 4 model years
The Lotus Evora has 6 recalls spanning the 2011–2018 production run, with the most serious being a 2011 supercharged model oil feed pipe that can rupture, spray oil onto hot engine components, and start a fire.
A second oil-related issue affects 2011 supercharged models with manual transmissions, where an engine oil cooler hose can chafe through and rupture, ejecting oil onto the road or rear wheels and reducing traction while also risking engine failure.
On 2018 models, the steering column was assembled incorrectly on certain vehicles and will not collapse as designed in a frontal crash, meaning it transfers more impact force to the driver rather than absorbing it. The 2017–2018 model years also have a passenger footwell toe board that lacks sufficient stiffness, allowing an unbelted occupant's knee to strike rigid structure in a crash and raising the risk of leg injury.
The 2013 model year has a labeling issue where the certification label does not accurately reflect the vehicle's airbag exemption status, which can make it difficult to determine whether a recall applies to that vehicle.
