What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2017 Lamborghini Centenario is the factory label that lists the vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating. That rating is the maximum loaded weight Lamborghini assigns to the car, including the vehicle, occupants, cargo, and any other load. Owners and service staff use that label to keep the car within its designed weight limit.
On the affected Centenario Coupe and Centenario Roadster vehicles, Lamborghini found that the production system supplied the wrong weight value for the manufacturer certification label. The label therefore lists an incorrect GVWR instead of the real weight limit. If the car is loaded based on the wrong label, it can be overloaded, which is why the corrected label matters.
There is no warning sign before failure. The car does not have a dashboard message or other system that tells an owner the printed weight information is wrong, so the label itself has to be replaced with the corrected one.
Who's affected?
The label and suspension items are tied to the same vehicles, so one VIN check covers both parts of the recall.
| 2017 Lamborghini Centenario | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2017 Lamborghini Centenario | suspension component |
| Units affected | 11 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged 1 field incident to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific coupe is included.
What's the safety risk?
An overloaded Centenario puts extra stress on the suspension and tires. If those parts fail, the driver faces a higher crash risk. There is no warning or system that identifies the overload condition, so treat the corrected label as safety information. Repair is free at any franchised Lamborghini dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Lamborghini Centenario is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Lamborghini dealer to schedule the free corrected certification-label installation, which fixes the incorrect weight-limit label.
- Bring the recall notice if Lamborghini mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V244 and Lamborghini recall L73XR0118 when you call.
- Avoid heavy loads until the corrected certification label is installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Lamborghini technician removes the incorrect certification label and installs the corrected label for the 2017 Centenario. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Lamborghini has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for the same certification label correction before the owner notice, contact Lamborghini customer service and ask how to submit documented expenses under that plan.
