What's wrong?
The engine block in a 2021 Lamborghini Urus is the main metal structure of the 4.0 litre V8 Turbo engine. It holds the cylinders, oil passages, and other parts that let the pistons move smoothly while the engine makes power. The cylinder bore is the inner wall of a cylinder, where each piston travels up and down.
On affected Urus vehicles, cracks were found on the running surface of the cylinder 6 bore. Lamborghini traced the issue to a temporary supplier casting error, where the automated mold-extrusion stamp was misaligned during production of certain engine blocks. A crack in this surface damages the area the piston depends on, which creates a risk of engine damage and fire.
An owner can notice abnormal noise from the engine crankshaft while driving. The instrument cluster can also show an oil pressure warning. Those signs mean the engine needs attention before further driving.

What's the safety risk?
Cracks in the engine can damage the engine, lead to a stall, or create an oil leak, increasing the risk of a crash or fire. Engine crankshaft noise while driving or an oil pressure warning in the instrument cluster means the vehicle needs dealer attention before more driving. Repair is free at any franchised Lamborghini dealer.
