Why These Lambo Doors Could Fall On Your Head Or Hold You Hostage
Lamborghini has announced a safety recall affecting select 2024 and 2025 Revuelto supercars in the United States due to an issue with the door gas springs.
Key Points
- Lamborghini is recalling 27 U.S.-spec 2024–2025 Revuelto models due to incorrectly installed spherical support pins on the door gas springs, which could cause the doors to unexpectedly drop.
- The defect poses potential injury risks and could trap occupants in emergencies, as a failed pin may make the scissor doors difficult to open from the inside.
- Dealers will inspect and repair the affected vehicles free of charge, with customer notifications beginning September 6 via mail and the Lamborghini app.
According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the problem could pose a risk of injury to occupants.
The Italian automaker revealed that 27 vehicles may have been fitted with incorrectly installed spherical support pins on the gas springs that help hold up the car’s vertically hinged scissor doors—Lambo doors is the technically correct term, actually. If a pin becomes detached, the door could unexpectedly drop with significant force as it's no longer supported by the gas shock.
Given the unique scissor-door design of the Revuelto, this poses a potential hazard to drivers and passengers. Lamborghini also warned that a pin failure could make it difficult to open the door from inside the vehicle, trapping occupants in the cabin.
“There is no warning sign of the issue,” Lamborghini stated in its NHTSA filing. Dealers have been instructed to inspect the pins on affected models and replace them if necessary. As with all federally mandated recalls, the repairs will be performed free of charge—although all vehicles captured by the campaign are still under warranty.
Owners will be notified by mail beginning September 6, and Lamborghini will also issue updates through its official app.
