Lamborghini Aventador Recalls (2012-2021)
The Lamborghini Aventador has been the subject of 9 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2012 to 2021 model years. They cluster mostly around the engine and engine cooling, structure, and suspension.
The Lamborghini Aventador scores 90 out of 100 (grade A), one of the cleaner recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 67% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 0% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 9 campaigns span 10 model years of the Lamborghini Aventador. The single largest affected 1,700 vehicles, over engine and engine cooling. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Aventador problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Lamborghini Aventador may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
