Ultra-Rare Lamborghini Veneno Recalled

Lamborghini said in 2013 that it would sell only three units of the Veneno for 3 million euros each, roughly Rs. 26.77 crore at the time. These examples of the rare Veneno have since appreciated in value; Automobile Magazine reported in March 2016 that one specimen was listed for sale for Rs. 74.30 crore ($11.1 million).

According to a recall notice posted on the U.S. agency National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) website, approximately 1,500 Aventadors in the U.S., whose price starts at about Rs. 2.67 crore ($400,000), are also included in this global recall by Lamborghini.

In a statement issued by Automobili Lamborghini, the company said faults in the Aventador's evaporative emissions control system could cause fuel vapors to not be treated properly. Combined with "particular maneuvers" such as "engine over-revving at idle," fuel vapors could contact hot gasses and lead to a fire risk, "especially with a not approved aftermarket exhaust system." According to NHTSA, with a full fuel tank, "certain driving conditions" could cause gasoline (petrol) to come into contact with hot exhaust system components.

Lamborghini said it is unaware of any driver or passenger injuries related to the flaw, though a spokeswoman was unable to say whether any fires have been reported in the affected vehicles.
