IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL – NHTSA Recall No. 20V-151

This notice applies to Your Lamborghini Aventador SVJ with the VIN

 

Dear Lamborghini Owner, Lessee,

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Model Year 2020 Aventador SVJ Coupè and Roadster vehicles. Our records indicate that you are the owner of a vehicle in this recall.

 

What is the issue?

The affected vehicles might not have properly assembled internal door handle mechanisms. Over time the internal door handle may fail and the door cannot be unlocked from the inside, posing an entrapment risk.

If a door cannot be opened with the interior handle in the case of an emergency, it can increase the risk of injury for the driver or passenger.  The outside handles operation is guaranteed by a different component and its functionality is not affected. Therefore, it is still possible to open the doors normally from the outside.

For all the reasons set forth above, it is therefore necessary to repair these vehicles. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information.

 

What Do You Need to Do?

In the interest of the safety of your passengers, as well as your own safety,  contact your authorized Lamborghini dealer immediately to schedule an appointment to have this important free repair performed as soon as possible. You can locate your nearest authorized Lamborghini Dealer at: https://www.lamborghini.com/en-en/ownership/dealer-locator

Your vehicle is affected

 

What will Lamborghini do?

We will replace the internal door handle for free. The repair could take up to 1 hour.

We apologize for any inconvenience this recall may cause.

Please bring this letter and your Service Booklet with you when you visit the dealer, so that we can make all necessary entries.

 

What if you are not the current owner of this vehicle?

You can update your vehicle ownership or contact information by filling out the enclosed document (Appendix A) and sending it to Lamborghini by following the detailed instructions present on it.

If you are a vehicle lessor, Federal Regulations require you to forward this notice to your lessee within ten days.

 

What if you have questions or experience problems?

Should you need additional assistance, you may contact Lamborghini Customer Care at:

Email at [email protected] or by calling 1-866-681-6276 from    9 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

If your Lamborghini Dealer is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time, you may notify the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590, call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to  https://www.safercar.gov.

You may be eligible for a refund of previously paid repairs. In case you have been charged for a repair related to the internal door handle non operative, Lamborghini will verify the service history and proceed with the full reimbursement in case the defect is directly related to this recall content.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this recall may cause; however, be assured that Lamborghini is concerned about your safety and security.

 

Yours faithfully,

Internal door handle recall – replacement
Lamborghini Aventador S and SVJ MY20
S. Agata Bolognese, April 24, 2020

Dear Service Manager,

In the course of continuous product monitoring and quality checks, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. has determined that, during the assembly process, the bowden cable pin inside the internal door handles may have not been correctly engaged on some vehicles produced between December 2019 and January 2020.

Over time the internal door handle mechanism may fail and the door may not be unlocked from the inside, posing an entrapment risk. This failure could lead to the inability to operate the handles from inside the vehicle with a safety risk in case of emergency. The outside handles operation is guaranteed by a different component and its functionality is not affected.

For safety reasons, these internal door handles must therefore be replaced.

The instructions for upgrading the vehicles will be available on the Lamborghini HUB at the page “Service and Recall Campaigns” from May 1st.

In order to support you in answering at the best to your customers, we are attaching the FAQ (Frequent Asked Question) you must conform to.

Since these activities are extremely important, we are confident you will make every effort to ensure that the vehicles are recalled and upgraded in the shortest time possible.

The significant dates for this recall are here below listed:

  • Technical instructions available on Lamborghini HUB portal on May 1st;
  • Recall data uploaded on LIASS on May 1st;
  • Customer notification starting from May 1st;

Please contact your Area Manager for any further information.

OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool, AI-Powered Car Code Reader & OBD II Scanner for Car, Bidirectional Scan Tool for Engine/ABS/SRS/Transmission/Battery Test, All-System Car Diagnostic Tool
  • 🚗Complete 4-System Health Check in Just 10 Seconds—Rather than cycling through modules one at a time, this OBD2 scanner runs a simultaneous sweep of Engine, ABS, SRS and Transmission, finishing a whole-vehicle health check in about 10 seconds. Its AI doesn't stop at pulling codes — it interprets what the fault actually points to, traces the failing component, and then references an on-board parts-and-labor library to estimate what the fix should cost in your area. It features plug-and-play functionality and automatic VIN recognition; it also quickly reads and clears emissions-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and checks I/M readiness status, helping you easily pass emissions tests.
  • 🚗Ready to Work the Moment You Plug It In— No setup, no configuration, no learning curve. The gold-plated OBDII connector plugs straight in, the tool identifies the vehicle's VIN and communication protocol on its own, and you press SCAN — that's the whole process. Because it uses smart auto-protocol detection, it reaches every control module rather than just the engine, diving into ABS, SRS and Transmission faults from wheel-speed sensors to TCM codes. Each code is read twice and cross-checked against a 10,000+ fault reference library, so results are confirmed, not guessed. Lifetime software updates are included at no cost — no subscription, no renewal fee.
  • 🚗Know What's Wrong Before You Pay​ —ABS or SRS light on, or prepping a trade-in? A fast full-module scan reveals what really needs fixing. AI trained on 1.2M fault-code patterns, backed by isolated ADCs, adaptive noise cancellation and a dual-core DSP, matches symptoms fast and precisely. An embedded parts-and-labor database then turns that diagnosis into a realistic repair budget, so you can reject unnecessary charges instead of approving them blind. Free lifetime OTA updates keep it current; the rugged rubberized housing shrugs off daily garage use. Live data stream, freeze-frame and a built-in DTC library complete the toolkit.
  • 🚗Fits Nearly Everything on the Road — Built to Survive the Garage— Coverage spans 1996-and-newer US vehicles, 2000-and-newer European and Asian models, light trucks, SUVs, and modern OBD2/CAN platforms, with automatic VIN detection doing the identification for you. A 2026 vehicle database ships pre-installed, and coverage keeps expanding through updates. Signal accuracy comes from a ±0.5% precision resistor network and a double-shielded cable, while two-stage isolated power plus 36V over-voltage protection safeguard both the tool and your car's electronics. The tough ABS housing carries an IP54 dust rating, and there are no annual fees — ever.
