Another Recall by Lotus on the horizon

[Grandad7184]

look like there may be trouble ahead for these guys. not sure if its world wide or just UK yet but starting Early Aug 14

I thought they made the Sunbeam not the Horizon.

[braddo]

I thought it's going to be called the Espirit rather than the Recall?

[S1_RS]

Thought it was going to be the 'Ecall in keeping with the Lotus naming convention.

[Impasse]

Are pistons smashing through engine blocks causing catastrophic fires on their halo model?

[Grandad7184]

I believe it is on the Evora model. Same recall what happened in November 2012

Good. It's about time Lotus showed that they're actually interested in supporting their customers when they have issues.

[LP670]

at least they are acknowledging the problem unlike some german manufacturers...

[Grandad7184]

It the US market pushing it due to there safety standards being higher than Europe.

That's one way of putting it.

I'd be more inclined to describe the situation as their courts being more willing to force companies to hand out stupid levels of compensation when idiots hurt themselves.

Recall for what reason?

If it's the same issue as on earlier cars, an oil pipe can fall off or split or something, causing a fire.

So is this a recall of a recall, in that the original fix in 2012 didnt work?

[anonymous-user]
