- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 20V732000
- Manufacturer's number: BUGCR033

- Reported: 2020\-11\-24

## What is wrong

Bugatti \(Bugatti\) is recalling certain 2017\-2020 Chiron, 2018\-2020 Chiron Sport and 2020\-2021 DIVO vehicles.  After an ignition cycle, the Electronic Stability Control \(ESC\) does not automatically default back to the full\-function original mode if the Handling Mode is selected on the Drive Mode switch.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."


## What can happen

If the Handling Mode is activated, the ESC System goes into Sport mode.  After an ignition cycle, the ESC does not default to the original default mode \(ESC Normal Mode\).  After restarting the car, the Drive Mode remains in Handling mode affecting the ESC performance, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Bugatti will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the software of the affected control units, free of charge.  Owners may contact Bugatti customer service at 1\-703\-826\-7545.  Bugatti's number for this recall is BUGCR033.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
