Lotus (http://www.autoblog.com/lotus) is recalling 451 examples of the Elise (http://www.autoblog.com/lotus/elise) and Exige (http://www.autoblog.com/lotus/exige) from the 2007 and 2008 model years. The cars in question, built from December 1, 2006 to October 31, 2007 could be affected by an oil cooler line that detaches from its fitting. If the line comes loose it could release oil onto the engine and possibly start a fire, or onto a tire and potentially cause a crash.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nhtsa) indicates the recall is expected to begin on March 4. Notified owners can take their cars to their dealers for repairs to the lateral oil cooler hose and hose fittings. You'll find the full release from the NHTSA below (http://www.motorgen.com/2013/02/27/lotus-elise-exige-recalled-over-oil-cooler-fire-risk/#continued) with more information.Continue reading Lotus Elise, Exige recalled over oil line fire risk (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/28/lotus-elise-exige-recalled-over-oil-line-fire-risk/)
