djantlive Report post Posted July 23, 2018 The whole center lock trend is troubling. The fact that they require loc-tite makes me worry. Why use a single bolt when you can have multiple for redundancy. Even Porsche is choosing looks over function. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
raylambo Report post Posted July 23, 2018 not to mention caps popping out due to heat -but they do offer new ones now with holes in them lol Wonder what next .. I bet you they'll have to do a recall next on transmission shuddering when car gets too hot after been driven for a couple of hours Unfortunately, Lambo only respond after legal threats or outright dramas like fires or crashes when all they have to do is listen and act on customer feedback without silly denials Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

svoshop Report post Posted July 23, 2018 I have no first hand with Lamborghini center lock wheels. However, I do with Porsche. I have had zero issues with any Porsche center lock wheel. I personally have proper torque wrench to remove and torque them to the required 450 ft lbs. I never once had a wheel that needed a re-torque. The lock tight makes me wonder what the deal is. On the Porsche cars, there is an anti-seize past that we applied. I can not think of the name, but it was made by Castrol. It was the only product that we were instructed to put on the locking threads. All I can think is that there is a heat related issues and lock tight is the only option. I have no first hand knowledge if lock tight is used in the racing world or not. I also read the part about 8 cars??

Fortis Report post Posted July 23, 2018 5 lug Ferrari wheel from a 812 came off clean, not an isolated case either, never heard of a centre lock to let go, I am sure it’s a preventing measure, 5 lugs isn’t any safer or equally as safe I guess.

drviperdds Report post Posted July 24, 2018 I have taking off my center lock wheels multiple times without issues. Also, none of the center caps ever came off. I suspect that sometimes techs are not putting them back on correctly. I usually run a bead of dishwasher soap around the rubber gasket on the caps when placing them back on the wheels.

raylambo Report post Posted July 24, 2018 Maybe 8 cars had the issue? Possibly some of the owners complained to their Government recall body (which anyone can do) so Lambo was forced to act but God only knows how many others are really affected .. I'll be checking up on mine lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

raylambo Report post Posted July 24, 2018 No manufacturer would issue a recall only for those who complain LOL Yes but recalls are usually due to customer complaints to the factory and/or to relevant Government bodies which intervene on safety grounds and compel the factory to issue recalls for safety reasons Point is 8 cars only affected !?

No doubt that’s one way to figure out issues with your product, customer feedback, but in that instance the entire line gets called in, if they are only recalling 8 they’ve must’ve discovered an issue with a certain batch of product.

I wonder how many more than those 8 suffer from that defect. I’m not taking any chances and will check with dealer mechanic 😉 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
