Published June 2, 2026

Recall 13V470 affects 404 2006-2010 Lamborghini Murcielago vehicles with brake rotor screws that can fail after salt exposure. Repair is free.

Lamborghini is recalling 404 2006-2010 Murcielago and Murcielago Roadster vehicles with carbon ceramic brake discs because, after exposure to salty conditions, the stainless steel screws that secure the brake rotors can fail. If those screws fail, braking ability is reduced and crash risk increases; the Lamborghini dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The carbon ceramic brake disc on a 2006-2010 Lamborghini Murcielago or Murcielago Roadster is the round rotor the brake pads clamp against when you press the pedal. These cars use stainless steel screws to secure the brake rotor assembly, so the rotor stays fixed and the braking force goes where it should.

On affected cars, the stainless steel screws are vulnerable after exposure to salty conditions. Salt attacks the screw hardware, and the screws fail instead of holding the rotor firmly. When that happens, the rotor is no longer secured as designed, which means the brake assembly cannot do its normal job with the same control.

Lamborghini did not identify an advance symptom in the recall summary. There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a noise, warning light, or change in pedal feel to tell you the screws have started to fail.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific car.

What's the safety risk?

Failed securing screws can reduce braking ability and increase the risk of a crash. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall repair soon and ask the dealer whether the vehicle needs special handling before the appointment. Repair will be free at any franchised Lamborghini dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2010 Lamborghini Murcielago or Murcielago Roadster is included in this recall.
  2. Use the VIN result to confirm whether the recall repair is open for your vehicle before scheduling service.
  3. Contact a franchised Lamborghini dealer to schedule the free brake-rotor screw replacement that re-secures the carbon ceramic brake discs.
  4. Bring any Lamborghini recall notice you received. If you do not have one, reference recall number 13V470 when you call.
  5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Avoid hard braking and leave extra following distance.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Lamborghini technician replaces the stainless steel screws that secure the brake rotors on affected Murcielago Coupe and Murcielago Roadster vehicles with carbon ceramic brake discs. The source remedy says the screw replacement is free of charge. Because this campaign does not list the remedy status as available, treat the final dealer repair as free once available and confirm the repair path with a Lamborghini dealer before bringing the vehicle in.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 13V470?

Recall 13V470 covers 404 2006-2010 Lamborghini Murcielago and Murcielago Roadster vehicles fitted with carbon ceramic brake discs. Stainless steel screws that secure the brake rotors can fail after salt exposure, reducing braking ability and increasing crash risk. Lamborghini dealers replace the screws for free.

What should I do if my 2006-2010 Lamborghini Murcielago or Murcielago Roadster is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 13V470. If it is, contact a franchised Lamborghini dealer to schedule replacement of the brake rotor securing screws. Reference recall number 13V470 when you call. The dealer repair is free.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost, and Lamborghini will replace the affected brake rotor securing screws free of charge at a franchised Lamborghini dealer.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is reduced braking ability. If the screws securing the brake rotors fail after salt exposure, the brake assembly loses the intended attachment strength, increasing crash risk. If your VIN is included, schedule the free screw replacement before putting more miles on the vehicle.

What if I bought my Lamborghini Murcielago used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your Murcielago or Murcielago Roadster is included, then call a franchised Lamborghini dealer with recall number 13V470.
