2021 Lamborghini Urus Recalls, Issues & Maintenance
The 2021 Lamborghini Urus carries 3 open NHTSA recalls — most recently covering retractor and engine. No recurring owner-reported issue clusters are on file. Every modern Lamborghini services annually or at 9,000 miles, whichever comes first, with a bigger service every 2 years and gearbox fluid every 3. The Urus shares its engine with fast Audis but Lamborghini keeps it on the same annual clock as the sports cars. One myth worth killing: there is no engine-out cam-belt service here. The V12s and V10s run timing chains, so the Ferrari-style belt bill does not exist. The real money items are wear-based instead. E-gear and ISR single-clutch transmissions eat clutches based on driving style, not miles, and replacement runs five figures at a dealer. Newer hybrids (Revuelto, Temerario, Urus SE) include 5 years of factory maintenance and an 8-year high-voltage battery warranty.

Issue: Lamborghini (Automobili Lamborghini) is recalling certain 2021 Urus vehicles. The middle-rear passenger seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Risk: An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect, and replace as necessary, the affected seat belt assemblies, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 1, 2021. Owners may contact Lamborghini customer service at 1-866-681-6276. Lamborghini's number for this recall is L636-R.04.21.

Issue: Lamborghini (Automobili Lamborghini) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Urus vehicles. A software error may deactivate the rearview camera image, resulting in the image not displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Risk: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will update the parking assist software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 9, 2026. Owners may contact Lamborghini customer service at 1-866-681-6276. Lamborghini's number for this recall is L636-R.01.26.

Essential maintenance
Critical for safety and preventing major damage
Oil Service (Annual)
Every 9,000 miEvery 9,000 miles or 12 months on Gallardo-era cars onward; the Diablo service book runs 7,500 miles or annually. Track use halves it in practice.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$120–$160
Shop
~$85–$115
DIY
~$25–$55
Full synthetic costs more than conventional. 5-quart 0W-20 + filter is the typical bill.
Annual / Major Service
Every 9,000 miAnnual inspection every year, with the 18,000-mile / 2-year major adding fluids, filters, and plugs. On e-gear and ISR cars, ask for the electronic clutch-wear readout at every service; clutch life varies enormously with driving style and replacement is a five-figure job.

Free
Most shops do this free with any paid service. A flashlight and 10 minutes covers the basics yourself.
Brake Fluid
Every 18,000 miEvery 18,000 miles or 2 years, sooner with track use. Carbon-ceramic brakes depend on fresh fluid to deliver what they promise.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$180–$200
Shop
~$125–$140
DIY
~$10–$25
DOT 3 or 4 — match the cap. Vacuum bleeders make this a one-person DIY.
Brake Inspection (Carbon-Ceramic)
Every 9,000 miChecked at every service. Ceramic discs can run six figures of miles on the street, but pads wear like normal and a full Aventador rotor-and-pad set runs around $15,000 in parts alone. Get the measurements documented.

Free
Most shops do this free as a courtesy with any service. Don't pay separately if you can avoid it.
Tire Check (Staggered Fitment)
Every 9,000 miStaggered sizes cannot rotate; wear and age are checked at each service. Low-mileage cars should replace tires around 6 years old regardless of tread, standard industry guidance for garage-kept performance cars.

Free
Often free at the shop where you bought the tires — worth asking before paying.
Important maintenance
Keeps your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently
Spark Plugs
Every 18,000 miDealer schedules list plugs with the 2-year major on the V10 and V12 cars and the Urus. Access is the cost driver; plug services on mid-engine cars carry real labor hours.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$285–$390
Shop
~$200–$275
DIY
~$25–$100
Iridium plugs cost more but last 100k+ miles. V6/V8 access varies wildly — some are tough.
Engine Air Filter
Every 18,000 miInspected annually, typically replaced with the 2-year major. Exact factory mileage varies by model; check your manual.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$60–$95
Shop
~$45–$70
DIY
~$15–$40
5-minute job on most cars; the airbox lid usually has clips, no tools needed.
Gearbox Fluid
Every 27,000 miEvery 27,000 miles or 3 years across e-gear, ISR, manual, and the Urus auto. The Huracan's LDF dual-clutch is the one to never skip: published figures range from about 28,000 to 37,000 miles, and neglected fluid leads to clutch-pack replacement north of $10,000. On a low-mileage car, go by the 3 years.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$330–$500
Shop
~$235–$355
DIY
~$60–$180
Some sealed transmissions have no dipstick — fill is precise and best left to a shop. Many drivers can still DIY drain-and-fill.
Recommended maintenance
Extends the life of your vehicle and improves comfort
Cabin Air Filter
Every 18,000 miEvery 18,000 miles or 2 years with the major service.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$60–$95
Shop
~$45–$70
DIY
~$15–$40
Usually behind the glovebox. Shops charge labor for a 10-minute job — easy DIY win.
Engine Coolant
Every 18,000 miRefreshed with the 2-year major on published dealer schedules. Diablo-era cars: roughly every 2 years per the period service book.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$285–$330
Shop
~$200–$235
DIY
~$25–$60
Use the manufacturer-specified coolant — wrong color/chemistry can damage the cooling system.
Accessory Belt & Tensioner
Every 18,000 miInspected annually, replaced around the 2-year major per dealer schedules. These are the only belts on the car; the cams are chain-driven on every model in this catalog.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$195–$235
Shop
~$135–$165
DIY
~$20–$50
DIY-friendly if you can reach the tensioner. Inspect for cracks rather than swap on a strict mileage interval.
12V Battery
Every 18,000 miTested at every service, and a maintainer is standard practice; most Lamborghinis sit far more than they drive. Hybrid models add dealer-only high-voltage checks, backed by the 8-year battery warranty.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$225–$390
Shop
~$160–$280
DIY
~$130–$250
Most auto-parts stores test and install batteries free with purchase. Skip the dealer markup.
