Gravity can be a cruel mistress, but even experiencing the minor pains of it still seems superior to life without it. It’s a good thing our cars don’t float away, and having a cloud of sneeze droplets stay in the air sounds rather gross. I’m generally quite thankful that what goes up must come down, except in certain isolated cases. For instance, an issue with the door hardware on select Lamborghini Revuelto supercars might result in the doors coming down quicker than expected.
Just like the hatch on a crossover or the hood on most recent cars, because the scissor doors on the Lamborghini Revuelto go up, little gas springs often referred to as lift supports are used to assist in lifting the doors. These little parts are pretty much foolproof, as a piston compressing a nitrogen-filled chamber is such a simple thing, you can buy dirt-cheap third-party lift supports for your car online and have them work just fine. Or at least, they will work just fine if they’re installed properly.
On a small number of Lamborghini Revuelto supercars, those struts themselves might be fine, but the mounts might not be tightened down very well, and considering that potentially having a door fall on your head is a safety issue, Lamborghini issued a voluntary recall. As the report filed with NHTSA states:
On June 26th 2025 Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. detected, during final static checks, one case of a vehicle on which the spherical pin that supports the door gas springs came loose. An internal investigation was initiated to clarify the failure aspects and to determine if any additional vehicle could be involved. During the investigation Lamborghini received one field claim of a pre-delivered vehicle which presented low tightening of the spherical pin. The investigation pointed in the direction of a possible production deviation during the assembly of the component, the correct assembly sequence may have not been followed. On July 18th 2025 the matter was presented to the Product Safety Committee, and the results from the investigation revealed that for the specific car, there was no confirmation if the torque value of the spherical pins that support the doors gas springs met production specification. The Product Safety Committee determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall in order to verify the correct tightening of the involved component.
The good news is that nobody has reported getting whacked on the noggin by their billionaire doors yet, and this recall only affects 27 cars in America. What’s more, the fix itself should be relatively simple, seeing how the official repair simply involves tightening down hardware that’s already there.
Still, that doesn’t stop this problem from being embarrassing and annoying. If a gas spring pin comes loose with the car parked, surely those doors aren’t easy to lift. Likewise, having the door fall down with the speed of a sofa thrown off a fire escape is hazardous and comical in equal measure, and I can only imagine the sort of hidden damage operating a door with a detached gas spring may cause.
At the same time, it’s somewhat nice to know that supercars are just cars, in that they can also be subject to relatively mundane recalls. Anyway, if you find yourself getting into or out of a Revuelto soon, you may want to watch your head and give the door a little extra support, at least until its door gas spring hardware has been checked over.
