Automobili Lamborghini: Wheels › Rim
Automobili Lamborghini reported this defect to federal regulators on Oct 3, 1995 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 26. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
THE REAR OF THE WHEEL CENTER SECTION WAS PAINTED CAUSING A LOSS OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE WHEEL CENTER PIECE AND THE FLANGE (BACKING PLATE) ENABLING THE FLANGE TO ROTATE AND/OR THE SLEEVE THROUGH WHICH THE LUG STUDS PASS WERE NOT PROPERLY INSERTED IN THE WHEELS.
The risk
THE ROTATING FLANGE CAN APPLY PRESSURE AGAINST THE CYLINDERS CAUSING THE CYLINDERS TO BECOME LOOSE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF TORQUE FOR THE LUG NUT, AND CONSEQUENTLY, THE WHEEL COULD LOOSEN, CAUSING A POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT EACH WHEEL. IF THE WHEELS ARE NOT THE CORRECT TYPE, ANY AND/OR ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WHEELS WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW PROPERLY MANUFACTURED WHEEL.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 95V186000.
