Questions and answers
Lamborghini Urus – model year 2021. 

 

“ALR seat belt function”

 

What is the issue with the affected vehicles?

The supplier Autoliv has determined that certain seat belt assemblies do not comply with FMVSS 208 in USA and CMVSS 208 in Canada. In these certain seat belt assemblies, the automatic locking retractor (ALR) function may deactivate early before the webbing is fully retracted. Automobili Lamborghini

 

What is the cause of this condition?

The subcomponent supplier of the ALR levers used in the subject seat belt assemblies produced dimensionally out of tolerance parts that may cause the ALR to deactivate before the seat belt webbing is fully retracted.

 

What effect does the condition have?

This noncompliance does not influence the compliance or functionality of the seat belt assemblies with respect to their normal use by adult passengers or use of the LATCH system to secure child restraint seats. With child restraint seats for which the vehicle owner elects to use the seat belt to secure the child restraint seat instead of the LATCH system, if the seat belt is not lockable so that the seat belt assembly can be used to tightly secure the child restraint seat, there is an increased risk of injury in a crash to the occupant of the child restraint seat.

 

How can the condition be identified?

A vehicle owner who elects to use the seat belt instead of the LATCH system to secure a child restraint seat will notice that the audible clicking noise made when the ALR function is activated stops well before the seat belt webbing is fully retracted.

 

Is there any risk for the car occupants?

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. is not aware of any accidents or other incidents resulting in injury to a person or damage to property.

 

Which vehicles are affected?

Lamborghini Urus, model year 2021.

 

How many vehicles are affected in US and Canada?

234 units.

 

Which VIN numbers are affected?

From ZPBUA1ZL7MLA12354 to ZPBUA1ZL2MLA14982; manufactured from December 2020 to June 2021.

 

What exactly needs to be updated on the car?

Dealers will inspect the affected seat belt assemblies at the specific seating positions and, if necessary, replace an affected seat belt free of charge.

 

How long will the repair work take?

Normally, the repair work will take approximately 3 hours.

 

Can customers continue to drive the cars?

Customers can still drive their cars, however, we encourage them to arrange an appointment with their retailer as soon as possible, avoid installing a child restraint system in the middle position rear seats and instead opt to use the LATCH system to secure a child restraint seat.

 

Will Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. bear the costs of the repair work?

The costs of this campaign will be borne entirely by Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.

 

Where can I have the repair work carried out ?

Any authorized Lamborghini dealer and Service point worldwide.

 

Is it necessary to make an appointment at the workshop?

Yes, customer should contact an authorized Lamborghini dealer or Service point.
