In a striking reminder that even the most exclusive vehicles are not immune to fastener issues, Bugatti
recalled a single 2018 Chiron — with a jaw-dropping price tag of USD 3 million (EUR 2.7 million) — in April
2022 due to loose screws on the front frame.
Bugatti informed the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the loose screws could
compromise the Chiron’s structural integrity and increase the risk of injury in a crash.
While recalls are a common occurrence in the automotive industry, with the NHTSA seeing an average of
about 650 recalls involving 25 million cars annually, it is quite rare for a recall to involve a single vehicle —
Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Lamborghini have all issued similar recalls for single vehicles due to
missing or improperly tightened fasteners.
At Tsamouris, we are committed to supplying you with high quality fasteners, ensuring the integrity of your
infrastructure and machinery.
