3 recalls across 6 model years
The McLaren MP4-12C Spider has 3 recalls covering 2012-2014 model years, the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator defect on 2012-2013 vehicles where the inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
The airbag issue has two layers of urgency for 2012 model year vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity states including Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, Louisiana, and several others, as well as U.S. territories. Those vehicles face an elevated risk due to prolonged moisture exposure and are covered by a separate recall campaign, though the underlying hazard is the same: a rupturing inflator that can injure or kill occupants. The 2013 model year is covered by the broader filing as well.
The remaining recall covers 2012-2014 models originally sold or currently registered in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, and Texas, where the windshield wiper motor can fail and leave the driver without wipers in rain, reducing visibility and raising crash risk.
