Introduced for the 2017 model year with the second generation of the Porsche Panamera, the 4.0-liter V8 found in the Lamborghini Urus and Audi Sport models is a marvel of engineering.

A manufacturing error that occurred during the engine block’s casting process is why cracks may develop on the running surface of the sixth cylinder’s bore, which isn’t exactly what you want from a high-performance motor. Even the smallest of cracks in the bore can lead to an impaired contour of the running surface, a condition that translates to engine oil leakage and catastrophic damage to the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8.

If you happen to own a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Coupe then this news concerns you, because it is quite possible that you will have to take it back to the dealer for repairs.
The recall conducted with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) includes 221 units of the 2018-2021 Aventador SVJ Coupe, with a 100 percent estimated defect rate, built between July 4, 2018, and January 15, 2021.
Due to the excessive heat, the engine hood hinge plastic elements may have been deformed, affecting the torque in the retain screws, which could result in an unlatched hood.

Two days after Bentley discovered an issue with a single 2020 Flying Spur, its Pre-Product Safety Committee got together on January 21, and almost a month later, they decided to conduct a safety recall.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) explains that a single luxury sedan was discovered to have been assembled with a potentially faulty fuel tank. The part may not have been welded properly by the supplier, Magna Steyr in Austria, during production, and it could leak fuel over time, which, in the presence of an ignition source, might lead to a fire.
