What's wrong?
The inside door handle on the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador Svj Coupe and Aventador Svj Roadster is the release the driver or passenger pulls to open the door from inside the cabin. That handle moves a Bowden cable, a sheathed cable that transfers the pull from the handle to the door latch. When the cable is engaged correctly, the latch releases and the door opens from inside.
On affected vehicles, the handle mechanism was assembled by hand, and the cable pin was not engaged correctly during that step. With use over time, that poor engagement can let the inside handle stop moving the latch far enough to release it. The result is a door that does not open when the inside handle is used.
There is no warning sign before failure. The handle can feel normal until it no longer opens the door from inside the vehicle.
Who's affected?
Covers both Aventador Svj body styles for the 2020 model year, with the same door hinge and attachment component.
