This time, the recall in the United States affects Lamborghini Revuelto plug-in hybrid supercars. Only seven vehicles from the 2024 and 2025 model years are involved.
A premium badge and a starting price of around $600,000 don’t shield even the fastest new supercars from recalls. This time, Lamborghini is recalling its Revuelto plug-in hybrid supercars in the U.S. The campaign affects just seven vehicles from the 2024 and 2025 model years. However, regulators emphasize that the defect could potentially be present in every one of these cars.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue is software-related. Under certain conditions, the central display may fail to show the rearview camera image. This constitutes a direct violation of federal requirements governing rear visibility.
The scenario is fairly specific and depends on driver actions. The glitch occurs if reverse gear is engaged too quickly—within one second of starting or shutting down the engine. In that case, the electronic control unit may “disable the camera display logic,” leaving the driver without a rearview image.
When the issue may occur:
The manufacturer first noticed the anomaly in May of last year and launched an internal investigation. Last month, engineers identified the source: a specific software version used in combination with a certain vehicle setup. Following that, the company confirmed the number of affected vehicles on the market.
Fortunately, the fix does not require replacing any hardware. Dealerships only need to update the rearview camera system software. Owner notifications are scheduled to be sent out on March 26.
Recall remedy includes:
While preparations for the recall are underway, owners can continue driving their cars as normal and enjoy the powertrain: a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, three electric motors, an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and a lithium-ion battery. Total system output is 1,001 horsepower, and top speed exceeds 217 mph.
