NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V561
Manufacturer McLaren Automotive Incorporated
Components SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Potential Number of Units Affected 19
Summary
McLaren Automotive Incorporated (McLaren) is recalling certain 2020 570S, GT, 2019 600LT, and 2019-2020 720S vehicles. The brake assembly banjo bolt may be missing the holes that supply brake fluid to the caliper, which would cause the brakes to fail on one corner of the vehicle.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the banjo bolt, as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed September 1, 2021. Owners may contact McLaren customer service at 1-646-429-8916. McLaren’s number for this recall is SRC 00 C 001.
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.nhtsa.gov.
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act.
McLaren Automotive Incorporated (“McLaren”) has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in ce1tain Model Year 2019 – 2020 McLaren vehicles. According to our records, you are the owner of one of those vehicles.
WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
McLaren has dete1mined that the banjo bolt that is fitted between the flexi-hose and the caliper within the brake assembly on each comer of the vehicle may not function properly. The banjo bolt is designed to include holes to allow the passage of hydraulic fluid to the brake caliper. However, the banjo bolts fitted on some of the brake assemblies may not have had the holes drilled into them. If this occurs, there would be no hydraulic pressure to the caliper, and there would be no braking effect on the affected comer of the vehicle.
This could result in the vehicle pulling to one side under braking, particularly when braking from a high speed, which could increase the risk of a crash.
WHAT McLAREN WILL DO
To remedy this problem, your McLaren dealer will disassemble the brake hose assembly on each comer of the vehicle, remove the banjo bolt and inspect it. In the event the banjo bolt is defective, it will be replaced. The brake hose assembly will then be reassembled, and the brakes bled.
This remedy will be performed at no cost to you.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
At your earliest convenience, please call your McLaren dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy performed. We estimate that the procedure will take up to two (2) hours to complete.
We recommend that you do not use the vehicle for any track use until the remedy has been perfo1med.
Customer Notification Process
McLaren commenced the mailings of letters (example attached) to owners of affected vehicles on 26 August 2021 2021. In line with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada as the case may be, notification letters to owners must be issued in the first instance and follow on communications can then be sent via email or other contact methods.
Immediate Action Required
Beginning on 1 September 2021, Retailers should contact customers and make service appointments as soon as reasonably practical. Repairs are to be performed by any McLaren Authorised Retailer regardless of where the vehicle was purchased. Retailers must not refuse to repair a vehicle because it was not purchased from their location.
Overview
McLaren have launched a voluntary safety recall on the affected vehicles listed in section 7 of this bulletin.
The covered vehicles may have been fitted with an incorrectly manufactured banjo bolt, which would result in no hydraulic pressure to the brake calliper on the relevant corner of the vehicle. This could result in the vehicle pulling to one side under braking, particularly when braking from a high speed, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Customers may continue to use their vehicle (however, they are advised to avoid track usage) until it is brought in to an authorised McLaren Retailer to have the remedy procedure completed. If a customer reports their vehicle as pulling to the left or right and/ or reports any abnormal performance of the brake system, the Retailer shall:
1. Advise the customer to immediately cease using the vehicle.
2. Immediately inform your Regional Aftersales Manager and provide all such information as they may request.
3. Make arrangements for the vehicle to be transported to the Retailer. the remedial work will only take approximately 2 hours to complete, a loan car will not be necessary to support this recall.
