Lamborghini Issues Recall Over Fire Concerns

Posted September 28, 2012 9:00 AM by CarDomain

To say that Lambos are prone to fire is an almost comical understatement. And now it's official, at least for Gallardos: the NHTSA is ordering the manufacturer to recall 1,491 of the '04-'06s over concerns that an over-stressed power steering hose can leak fluid, potentially leading to fire. And I don't know about you, but I have a feeling it won't be the last Lambo recall on this issue.

Looks like an expensive way to roast marshmallows.
