Confidence is the model's own probability for the label it chose (0 to 1), not accuracy.

2 recalls.

25V216000

Date: 2025-04-09. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC.

Defect: McLaren Automotive Incorporated (McClaren) is recalling certain 2020-2025 600LT, 720S, Artura, GT, and GTS vehicles. The brake lines may be routed incorrectly and cause the brakes on the incorrect side to activate, possibly resulting in one of the rear wheels locking up.

Consequence: A rear wheel locking condition may cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and correct the brake line connections as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 21, 2025. Owners may contact McClaren customer service at 1-646-429-8916.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

23V484000

Date: 2023-07-14. Systems: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING.

Defect: McLaren Automotive Incorporated (McLaren) is recalling certain 2019-2020 600LT Coupe and Spider vehicles. The joint between the temperature sensor housing and the hose from the outboard radiator may not be sealed properly, which can result in coolant leaking into the engine compartment.

Consequence: A coolant leak in the presence of an ignition source, such as hot engine components, can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the coolant hose, temperature sensor housing, and constant pressure clamp, free of charge. Owner notifications letters were mailed September 7, 2023. Owners may contact McLaren customer service at 1-646-429-8916.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
