NHTSA recall 11V510000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Lotus Cars Limited
Details
What's wrong: The oil cooler line may become detached from its fitting.
Why it matters: A detached oil line could spray oil on a tire, increasing the risk of a crash, or it could spray oil throughout the engine compartment increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Lotus will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles as necessary free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before December 19, 2011.
