Summary

Automobili Lamborghini America LLC "Lamborghini" is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 Gallardo Coupes and Spyders fitted with carbon ceramic brake discs. The stainless steel screws that secure the brake rotors may fail after being exposed to salty conditions.

Consequence

Failure of the securing screws may result in a reduction of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Lamborghini will notify owners, and dealers will replace the screws, free of charge. The safety recall began during November 2013. Owners may contact Lamborghini at 1-866-681-6276. The manufacturer's numbers for this campaign are L71X-R.01.13 "model year 2007 and 2008 Gallardo Coupe and Spyder" and L71X-R.02.13 "model year 2009 Gallardo Coupe and Spyder".
