EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Aventador in 2 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The hood hinge could be defective and may not hold the hood closed as designed while the vehicle is in motion. As a result, the hood may flip open without warning and could fully detach from the vehicle, posing a risk to the following traffic.
Under certain driving conditions, the engine software fails to correctly determine the flow of fuel from the discharge valves. This may cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of an accident.
