Lotus is recalling 80 units of the 2011 Evora S in the United States due to a potential oil leak issue. Accordingly, the affected vehicles were equipped with a manual transmission and manufactured from September 2010 to September 2011.
"The engine oil cooler hose may chafe and rupture resulting in oil loss. Engine oil may be ejected onto the road or rear wheels which could cause a reduction in vehicle control and potential engine failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Engine oil sprayed onto a heat source may also lead to a vehicle fire," said NHTSA in its official press release.
The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development and the British carmaker has not yet provided a notification schedule. For more information, owners can call Lotus at 1-770-476-6564 or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
