Lamborghini recalled over stalling woes
Lamborghini is recalling versions of its Aventador built between 2017 and 2019 after discovering the vehicles may stall without warning.
The marque says a possible fault with the engine management software means it may not assure the minimum idle speed to maintain the engine as drivers slow down.
As a result, the Aventador, pictured, is at risk of stalling without warning when the accelerator pedal is released in the idle approach to a stop.
The recall, issued on May 18, advises owners of affected vehicles to contact a Lamborghini dealer.
Toyota RAV4, model year 2019
Recall issued: May 25. The hazard: A potential manufacturing problem with the front-lower suspension arms mean they could develop surface cracks over time, leading to a reduction in durability. If left unchecked, the suspension arm may break, increasing the risk of an accident. What to do: Registered owners will be contacted by letter or call the customer dialogue centre.

Audi A1, A3, TT, model years 2008-16
Recall issued: May 25. The hazard: A component inside the mechatronic unit of the seven-speed dual clutch gearbox may fail due to manufacturing discrepancies. This may cause a pressure drop in the unit and lead to an interruption of the power flow between the engine and gearbox.
