The 2011 Lotus Evora S has 2 recalls, both involving engine oil leaks that can ignite against hot engine or exhaust components and cause a fire.
In both cases, oil that escapes can also coat the tires or brakes, reducing grip and stability, or spill onto the road surface and create a hazard for other drivers. One recall involves an engine-mounted oil feed pipe that can rupture, while the other involves an oil cooler line that can fail and spray oil more broadly onto braking and steering surfaces.
