McLaren Artura Suffers Yet Another Fiery Setback

For now, Artura owners should become more aware of a possible fuel leak due to the abovementioned issue. Some warnings include a smell of fuel odor in the vehicle’s proximity, a fuel leak on the ground, and an ‘engine system fault’ alert due to engine fuel starvation.

The latest recall follows the first one released late last year involving faulty nuts, which could also lead to fire due to a fuel leak in the high-pressure fuel pipe. This was after a much longer than initially planned gestation period for the Artura after fires occurred on the very first international press drive, although those were related to the oil coolers.

The Artura is the first of a new generation of McLaren supercars, underpinned by a new digital architecture and showcasing new V6 and hybrid components. Multiple delays are inevitable, especially given the happenings of the last few years, but the Artura has been a bit of a problem child. Here’s hoping McLaren gets over the teething issues soon.
