The affected vehicles were manufactured from February through September 2011 (check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb) and use an engine oil feed pipe that could rupture. This could lead to a fire.
Lotus has not yet provided NHTSA with an owner notification schedule, but dealers will replace the oil feed pipe for free. Owners can call Lotus at 800-245-6887 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
