NHTSA recall 20V732000
Electronic Stability Control (Esc) · Bugatti
Details
What's wrong: After an ignition cycle, the electronic stability control (esc) does not automatically default back to the full-function original mode if the handling mode is selected on the drive mode switch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "electronic stability control systems."
Why it matters: If the handling mode is activated, the esc system goes into sport mode. After an ignition cycle, the esc does not default to the original default mode (esc normal mode). After restarting the car, the drive mode remains in handling mode affecting the esc performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bugatti will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the software of the affected control units, free of charge.
