The 2011 Lotus Evora has 2 recalls, both affecting supercharged manual transmission models and both involving engine oil lines that can rupture, spilling oil onto hot engine components or the rear wheels and raising the risk of fire, loss of traction, or engine failure.
One recall covers the oil cooler hose, which can chafe through and burst, sending oil onto the road or rear wheels and reducing vehicle control. The other involves an oil feed pipe that supplies the cylinder head: if it ruptures, oil can spray onto hot engine surfaces and ignite.
