Lotus is recalling the Elise and Exige models produced in 2005 and 2006 due to an oil leak issue that could reportedly lead to serious problems, such as fires or crashes.
Back in July, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) started an ivestigation targeting oil cooler leaks for the Elise and Exige models produced between June 1, 2004 and November 30, 2006, with the move generating the recall.
It actually all started when 17 owners filed complaints of oil leaks onto the right rear tires, which caused handling problems. The reports included mentions of handling problmens caused by this, with one owner reporting a fire.
If you own one of the aforementioned vehicles, you can contact Lotus at 1-800-245-6887, or the NHTSA at NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 (reference recall campaign number 11V510000).
