Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Suspension

1 report
“McLaren automotive has a known suspension accumulator problem on earlier year 720s models. This is a major safety concern as the suspension is a huge safety component in all vehicles. They have a revised updated part to fix this, but it has not yet issued a recall to have the manufacture responsible for fixing this , not the consumer. This should have been a recall for long time now but since they are low productions that's why it probably hasn't been issued yet since the updated part is newly released, but they do have a fix to this, but it comes at the cost of the consumer as of now until a recall is issued. Since this is a safety concern I think the nhtsa should be aware of this issue and do something about this safety concern and have the manufacture issue the recall as soon as possible. here is the service bulletin that should be a recall [XXX]”
