Yahoo Autos Lamborghini Urus Recalled for Frying its Backup Camera and Screen
Certain models of the 2022 Lamborghini Urus are being recalled in the U.S. and Canada due to a potential defect in the infotainment system that renders the display and rear-view camera inoperable.
Documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say the issue stems from a potentially faulty voltage regulator in the infotainment system. Some of the voltage regulators that Lamborghini supplier Aptiv used during assembly of the main control units allow a voltage input that’s too high.

It’s possible that the high voltage can surge through the electronic system and damage it when drivers shut down the Lambo, which means the infotainment is unusable the next time the Urus starts. Since modern cars — and certainly exotics like the Urus — rely almost exclusively on infotainment screens for safety features like backup cameras, this means affected Uruses are unsafe to operate in the eyes of the U.S. government.
The recall affects just a small number of Lamborghini Urus SUVs; only 48 to be exact, but the potentially faulty infotainment in models affected has made these Lamborghinis noncompliant with federal safety standards in the U.S.
