Lotus Cars USA is recalling 80 model year 2011 Evora supercharged vehicles equipped with a manual transmission and manufactured September 2010, through September 2011.
The engine oil cooler hose may chafe and rupture resulting in oil loss. Engine oil may be ejected onto the road or rear wheels which could cause a reduction in vehicle control and potential engine failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Engine oil sprayed onto a heat source may also lead to a vehicle fire.
The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
Owners may contact Lotus at 1-770-476-6564. Lotus' campaign number is 2013/03R.
