Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s): 2011 LOTUS EVORA
Manufacturer: Lotus Cars USA, Inc.

SUMMARY:
Lotus Cars USA, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Evora
supercharged vehicles equipped with a manual transmission and
manufactured September 2010 through September 2011. The engine oil
cooler hose may chafe and rupture resulting in oil loss.

CONSEQUENCE:
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.

REMEDY:
The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. The
manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may
contact Lotus at 1-770-476-6564. Lotus' campaign number is 2013/03R.
