What's wrong?
The 2017 Pagani Huayra uses battery management software inside the battery system to control how electrical power is supplied. That power is needed for the starter and for the engine controls that keep the car running at idle. When the software works correctly, the battery delivers enough power for those basic functions.
On affected Huayra Coupe BC and Huayra Roadster vehicles, Pagani traced the problem to a software bug in the battery management system, a hardware component built into the battery itself. The bug can stop the battery from providing enough power to start the engine. It can also let the engine stop when the car is idling, because the electrical system is not supporting the engine controls as intended.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices can be a no-start condition, or an engine that stops while the car is sitting at idle.
