McLaren will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install additional fasteners to secure the rear window.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the release cable for the hood latch may be too tight. As a result, the latch could release, and the hood may open suddenly while driving.

Summary
Issue: On a small number of vehicles, a defective bolt may restrict fluid pressure to the brake caliper. As a result, there may be no braking on one wheel.

Issue: The engine wire harness may contact a heat shield in the engine compartment. Over time, this could cause wear and result in damage to electrical wires. If this happens, it could cause problems with engine performance, including: entering idle limp mode, causing torque limitation, engine misfire, engine stall and/or a build-up of unburnt fuel in the catalyst. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. A build-up of unburnt fuel in the catalyst could cause it to overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
