McLaren issues domestic recall of 30 Artura imports over possible fuel leak risk causing fires.

【PhoneAuto News】On December 13th, according to the official website of the State Administration for Market Regulation, McLaren Automotive Sales (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recently filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Supervision in accordance with the “Regulations on the Management of Recalls of Defective Automobile Products” and the “Implementation Measures for the Management of Recalls of Defective Automobile Products”.

The announcement shows that McLaren has decided to recall a total of 30 imported Artura vehicles produced between March 18, 2023, and November 14, 2023, starting from December 15, 2023. It is understood that some vehicles within the scope of this recall have inconsistent thicknesses in the cross-section of the low-pressure fuel pipe connecting the engine high-pressure fuel pump, which may cause the fuel pipe to detach from its quick connector, resulting in fuel leakage and a risk of fire. McLaren stated that the company will replace the low-pressure fuel pipe with a new one free of charge for the vehicles within the recall scope to eliminate the safety hazard.

McLaren Artura Recall Announcement

It is understood that McLaren Artura is a hybrid sports car under McLaren, and it is also the first model built based on McLaren’s lightweight carbon fiber architecture (MCLA). The powertrain consists of a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine, an electric motor, and a high-energy battery pack, with a combined output power of 680 horsepower, peak torque of 720 Nm, and 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 3.0 seconds. The official price in China is 2.38 million yuan.

This is not McLaren’s first recall in China recently. In October this year, McLaren announced the recall of a total of 83 600LT cars produced between January 7, 2019, and October 22, 2019. The company stated that the engine radiator hose and temperature sensor joint of the aforementioned vehicles have insufficient sealing, which poses a risk of coolant leakage. When the coolant hose is in close proximity to engine components with higher temperatures, coolant leakage may cause the vehicle to catch fire, posing a safety hazard.
