2016 Pagani Huayra Recalls, Issues & Maintenance
The 2016 Pagani Huayra carries 1 open NHTSA recall — most recently covering frontal. No recurring owner-reported issue clusters are on file. Pagani publishes no maintenance chart, and we will not invent one. What owners actually do is simple: the car goes to a Pagani-authorized dealer once a year regardless of mileage, the AMG-built V12 gets its fluids and a deep inspection, and a clean year runs a reported $8,000 or so. The factory's Puro program adds a 400-plus point inspection and a documented history book, which matters enormously at resale on a car built in the hundreds. Between visits the owner's job is tire age, battery maintenance, and not skipping the annual because the odometer barely moved. Every fluid in the car ages on the calendar.

Campaign #16V588000 · Sep 8, 2016
Issue: Pagani Automobili SpA (Pagani) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Huayra vehicles manufactured April 21, 2014, to July 29, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the driver side frontal air bag may not remain adequately secured to the steering wheel during deployment, and therefore the air bag may deploy improperly.
Risk: Improper deployment of the driver frontal air bag can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Fix: Pagani has notified owners, and dealers will change the fasteners on the steering wheel air bag assembly, free of charge. The recall began August 16, 2016. Owners may contact Pagani customer service at 1-415-350-7220.
