There's a recall notice owners need to be made aware of, and it covers all 16 examples of the Pagani supercar produced in 2017 that have made it into the country. There's no need to drop your monocle just yet though, as the recall is battery related. We assume your Pagani is currently in your collection where it's sitting under a car cover while connected to a battery tender. There's a chance your battery management system isn't sending enough power to...

At its peak, Takata is thought to have had a 20 percent share of the airbag market.

  • 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder

    Porsche is alerting owners of its 918 Spyder that it wants to take a look at the seat belt mounting system in their supercars to ensure that the correct screw is in the correct location. The problem, the automaker says, isn't that the vehicles were assembled incorrectly in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Instead, an error in the original parts catalog means that, if a technician needed to work on the car's seats or seat belts, there is a possibility that the screws that secure the belt and reel mounts to the vehicle were incorrectly replaced. Porsche says that it will inspect all 918 Spyders and that...
