The GodFather Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 McLaren—yes, that McLaren—is recalling 2763 of its vehicles built between 2016 and 2020, including its $1 million hypercar, the Senna. The affected vehicles are built with a foam pad underneath the fuel tank that can absorb water, corrode the fuel tank, and lead to fuel leaking and, potentially, fire. The affected McLaren products are the 2016 to 2020 720S, the 2020 GT, 2019 Senna, and the 2017 to 2019 570GT, according to a filing on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website. McLaren will replace the foam pad and also the fuel tank, if it has corrosion. Currently, the automaker said that the fix for the GT hasn’t been finalized. The 789-hp Senna represents only 157 of the recalled vehicles, while the 720S makes up the bulk of those affected. Vehicles that lack the foam pad aren't included in the recall. McLaren hasn't yet released a schedule for when it will notify owners of the recall. The automaker said that it isn't aware of any other vehicles affected by the moisture-retaining foam pad beyond the two that prompted the recall. McLaren owners can check the NHTSA recall website to see if their car is included. 1
