Recalls not carried out at service…

[Gooner]

Hi

I’m the 2nd owner of a March 23 registered Emira, which I picked up just over a week ago.

Today I emailed Lotus CS to double check that all recalls had been sorted at the first service, which was carried out in February this year. To my surprise, the below are outstanding:

• 2023/02R – Dry Wipe Calibration Settings
• 2023/03R – A-Pillar Tether
• 2023/12 – Brake Banjo Bolt Check
• 2023/21 – Gearbox Oil Cooler
• 2023/24 – Driveshaft Bearing Mount
• 2023/14 – Emira ECM & VDDM Update

I’m waiting on a call back from my local Lotus Service Centre to get the car booked in (it’s far harder than it should be to actually talk to someone), but in the meantime I’m trying to ascertain if any of these are critical i.e. don’t drive the car unnecessarily. Can anyone confirm, as searching online for any info is proving very difficult!

Also, would these not ordinarily be sorted at a service as a matter of course? Whilst the car has service history, they didn’t stamp the book for either the pre delivery inspection or the first service, although the hologram is correct and present for both. As a result, I can’t ascertain which service centre completed the work to check! Seems lazy on the dealers part not to stamp the book or indeed to complete the recall work as part of the service!!!

Heard back from Lotus. They made a mistake and checked an old system, the recalls have been carried out!

Are your brake pads ok? I had all mine replaced a month ago as parts had crumbled off! You can tell by lines of rust forming around the disks.
