Lotus recalls 2008-2011 Elise, Exige and 2011 Evora over fire fear

Lotus is recalling 860 vehicles after discovering that the oil cooler hose could detach from its fitting. Should the hose separate, it could spray oil on one of the lightweight car's tires, giving new meaning to the phrase "sudden loss of grip." The other case is, believe or not, more dire, as the spraying oil could hit the engine and ignite. Of course, neither situation is desirable, hence the recall.

The vast majority of the affected vehicles (780 of the 860) are the 2008 to 2011 Elise and Exige, built between November 2007 and July 2011. Another 80 Evora S coupes from 2011, manufactured between September 2010 and September 2011, are also included in the recall.

All repairs will, naturally, be completed free of charge. In the Elise/Exige's case, that means replacing the hose fittings, while the affected Evoras will get a new hose assembly.

Wenn ich jetzt noch wüsste ob my Elise R Jg. 2008 Toyota Motor einen Oelkühler hat
Nix alles verstehen, weil meine Engelisch verry glaube bad

Mach mir da auch keine Sorgen...

Bei meiner Cup 255 Jg. 2007 wurden durch Lotus-Sport bestimmt noch die alten Teile aus dem Jahre 2006 oder früher verbaut.

Mir hat mein Lotus Spital gesagt, nur USA Kistli's betroffen.

Gruss tigi
