Lamborghini Veneno Owner Kris Singh Denies Recall, Says It Only Covers Aventador

Two days ago, a Bloomberg report told us that the upcoming Lamborghini Aventador would also involve the Veneno. Sure, Sant'Agata Bolognese may have only produced twelve Venenos (three Coupes and nine Roadsters), but with such a hypercar having been offered for around ten times the price of an Aventador, it's only normal for the Internet to make a big deal out of this side of the 5,900-vehicle campaign.

Well, we can now tell you that the most active (social media-wise) Veneno owner, American businessman Kris Singh, has turned to his Instagram account to explain that the Veneno is not involved in the campaign targeting the car it is based on.

"Everyone is talking about a recall for the Lamborghini Veneno. Well, as the only person that drives a Lamborghini Veneno I can tell you that I was told the recall is for the Aventador range and it DOES NOT apply to the engine in the Veneno," Kris explains.

We've reached out to Lamborghini for an official position. Meanwhile, here's what the recall info on the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) website, says about the issue:

"Automobili Lamborghini (Lamborghini) is recalling certain 2012-2017 Aventador vehicles. In certain driving conditions, while the vehicle has a full gas tank, gasoline may contact the exhaust system,"

According to the NHTSA, the recall for the 1,453 Aventador units in North America is scheduled to kick off on February 24. As for the remedy, the automaker's dealers will replace the fuel tank's evaporative emissions system, obviously free of charge.

If you happen to read this from your Veneno and are unsure about the campaign, you can contact the Raging Bull customer service at 1-866-681-6276. Or you can always reach out to the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236. By the way, how are things going in the Veneno Owners Club?


 

Everyone is talking about a recall for the Lamborghini Veneno. Well, as the only person that drives a Lamborghini Veneno I can tell you that I was told the recall is for the Aventador range and it DOES NOT apply to the engine in the Veneno. Maybe I'll go on Instagram live from the Veneno later today to discuss recalls and what they really mean. Even though there is no recall issued at this time for my Veneno, I would like to point out that recalls are very common for all cars, especially Super and Hyper cars. LaFerrari, Porsche 918, McLaren P1, Bugatti, etc. have all had many recalls. It's not that big of a deal and when they do it isn't considered to be news worthy. I find it to be hilarious that the mention of a possible recall for the Lamborghini Veneno is massive news. . It really shows just how much of an impact Automobili Lamborghini has made on the world with the Lamborghini Veneno. I think I'll do an Instagram Live from the Veneno later today. All this talk about it being a fire risk has really gotten me in the mood to take it for a drive! Don't worry - The only fire it will be making will be the flames coming out of the rear pipes.
