Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a three-piece oil feed pipe with a flexible hose section. This engine mounted oil feed pipe, used to supply oil to the engine cylinder head, can rupture.
Why it matters: The ruptured pipe can result in oil loss and engine damage, and oil sprayed onto hot engine components may result in a fire.
The fix: Lotus will notify owners, and dealers will replace the oil feed pipe free of charge. The safety recall began on December 10, 2012.
