    Lamborghini recalls model year 2011-2014 Gallardo Coupes and Spyders

    Drivers may not be warned of safety system problems

    Automobili Lamborghini is recalling 1,152 model year 2011-2014 Gallardo Coupes and Spyders.

    What to do

    Lamborghini will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the engine software with the appropriate procedure, free of charge.

    The recall is expected to begin December 14,2018.
