## What is wrong

Lotus Cars USA, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Evora supercharged vehicles equipped with a manual transmission and manufactured September 2010 through September 2011. The engine oil cooler hose may chafe and rupture resulting in oil loss.


## What can happen

Engine oil may be ejected onto the road or rear wheels which could cause a reduction in vehicle control and potential engine failure, increasing the risk of a crash.  Engine oil sprayed onto a heat source may also lead to a vehicle fire.


## The remedy

Lotus will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge.  The recall began on December 11, 2013.  Owners may contact Lotus at 1\-770\-476\-6564.  Lotus' campaign number is 2013/03R.
