Lamborghini has issued a recall for its Urus SUV due to the potential risk of the hood detaching at high speeds.
This recall affects specific Urus models from the 2023 and 2024 model years, including both the standard Urus S and the sportier Urus Performante. In the United States, around 2,133 vehicles are impacted by this recall.
According to the recall notice published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on May 16, the issue stems from improperly manufactured rivet studs for the hood latch strikers.

These faulty rivet studs could cause small gaps to form between the hood and the ront fascia when driving at high speeds. The air flowing through these gaps adds stress to the latch system, which could eventually lead to latch failure.
This failure could cause the hood to flip up and block the windshield or even fully detach from the vehicle, posing a significant safety risk.
Lamborghini identified the problem after investigating two separate warranty claims related to misaligned hoods. Although the automaker has not reported any crashes or injuries associated with this defect, they have taken steps to rectify the issue.
To fix the problem, Lamborghini dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and install new striker support plates if necessary, free of charge.
Owners of the affected vehicles will receive notification letters, which are expected to be mailed out on June 28. For additional information, Lamborghini owners can contact Lamborghini customer service at 1-866-681-6276 or the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236, referencing recall campaign number 24V348000.
