The problem

The risk

If the steering column does not collapse as intended in a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.

Lotus will notify owners, and dealers will correct the steering column assembly, free of charge. The recall began December 4, 2018. Owners may contact Lotus customer service at 1-800-245-6887. Lotus' number for this recall is 2018/01R.
