Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

Retrofitment of airbag rotary clock spring part number A132M6241F to Evora vehicles originally fitted with clock spring part number A132M6236F. As stated in Technical Service Bulletin TSB 2019/05, although clock spring part numbers A132M6241F or A132M6236F fitted to Evora 400 model range vehicles look identical, they are not interchangeable.

Standard information required and procedures to be followed when reporting ECU & TCU faults. There is often insufficient, or inconsistent information received from dealers when reporting ECU & TCU related faults, this can lead to unacceptable delays in repairing vehicles.
sb_2021_06_DTC
There is often inconsistent or insufficient information received from dealers when reporting ECU and TCU related faults. This bulletin aims to standardise the information when filing a claim to After Sales.
TSB_2020_03
Air conditioning compressors failing due to oil starvation. TSB reminds dealers of correct replacement and running-in procedures.
sb_2020_01
Any unauthorised modifications, including fitment of non-approved after-market air filter resulting in generation of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCâs) P0101 & P1109. We have had several instances where DTCâs P0101 & P1109 had been set and the car recovered into the dealer, only for them to find that the original equipment engine air intake filter had been substituted for a non-approved after-market type (applicable to both dry and oil coated types).
sb_2019_04
It is possible that some lithium batteries have been irreparably damaged because they have not been maintained whilst the vehicle is in storage or have been irreparably damaged because the correct charging procedure has not been carried out

Inoperative Bluetooth functionality of an Evora 400 head unit microphone

Lotus tool part number T000T1543F is now available, which can be used in conjunction with Lotus TechCentre to assist in the investigation of diagnostic trouble code faults for all Lotus models equipped with the "LDL" type tyre pressure monitoring system by gathering data from the individual wheel transmitters whilst they are still fitted to the vehicle

Revised fault code generation strategies issued for certain O2 sensor and Coolant Temp Sensor diagnostics. Currently a fault code may not be immediately generated or the MIL illuminated in the event that a fault has occurred. In extreme instances this may result in drivability issues such as: - Vehicle poor starting or non-starting. - Excessive engine rpm at idle. - Vehicle unable to re-start if the engine is stopped with the fault still present. - Unable to select D ? Drive or R ? Reverse if the engine idle speed is above 2000 rpm (automatic models only). - An increase in the brake pedal effort required to slow or stop the vehicle (automatic models only). The revised diagnostic strategy for this issue is now more robust, ensuring that potential issues are more promptly detected, hence reducing the risk of the driveability issues described above from occurring.

Because of the revised electrical systems and subsequent increased demands placed on the vehicle battery on the Evora 400 as compared to the previous Evora N/A & S models, the 100 Amp rated alternator originally fitted has been replaced with an uprated 150 amp version as a production running change to ensure consistent battery performance.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
