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.

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.
