Emira i4 - Current recalls

[DJManc]

Recently spoke to my local dealership to order a key for my Emira and they informed me that there are 4 current outstanding recalls on my car (March 24 vehicle).
1. HVAC shield
2. Climate Control module.
3. ECM update (not sure if this is the gearbox software update that everyone is hoping for).
4. DTML hose modification (AMG engine).
My dealership (Oakmere Cheshire) is currently booking 2 months ahead, so if you are thinking of getting these updates done book early!
These recalls do not currently show on the .gov website. You will need to call a lotus dealership with your chassis number to check for outstanding recalls.

They don’t show on the .gov website because Lotus don’t officially call them recalls. I discovered this during my many, many phone calls with Lotus CC. It’s very cheeky of them tbh. It could easily be argued that failure of the HVAC system is a safety issue.

I’m also quite surprised that i4s have been delivered without the HVAC shield already installed. Mine was fitted in October 23 after the resistor motor failed due to water ingress.

Im currently struggling to get Oakmere to fix the carpet which was broken from delivery. Despite many calls I can’t get them to respond to the warranty request to fix it. I’m really disappointed with them, when I had my last Lotus they were pretty good but not now. I’ll add the above to my call with them next week when I follow up with them yet again.

Damn I’m hoping my I4 built in Sept 24 will be recall free.
