On certain vehicles, liquid fuel could leak into the emissions evaporative control (EVAP) system under certain conditions. If this occurs, the EVAP system may not be able to properly filter the fuel vapors. This could cause an accumulation of fuel vapors in the EVAP system which, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will upgrade the EVAP system with an updated version.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador recall questions

Enter your VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup or Lamborghini's own, or call a Lamborghini dealer with your VIN. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. Transport Canada campaigns cover vehicles sold in Canada. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorized Lamborghini dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once Lamborghini's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorized Lamborghini dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with Lamborghini so notices reach you, and check NHTSA's lookup from time to time.
