Recall of a Bugatti Chiron after a painful mistake

When you pay millions for a Bugatti Chiron, you can expect perfection, right? Just brush up on those expectations, because as it turns out, the high-end hypercar brand makes mistakes, too. Bugatti was forced to make a notable recall, even if it only affected one car.

Bugatti makes the most expensive new cars in the world. Recently, a Chiron was auctioned for an extremely high amount. It was the most expensive new car ever auctioned. Also, you spend a little more on maintaining a Bugatti than you do on a Polootje. In fact, simply servicing a Chiron Pur Sport will cost you even more than a brand new Volkswagen Polo. Read here how insanely expensive four years of maintenance for the hypercar is.

Notable recall for Bugatti Chiron

Unfortunately for the new owner of a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, his 1,600 hp car had to go back to the dealer for the first service. what shines The car left the Molsheim factory on the wrong wheels, which could affect top-speed handling.

The top speed of this Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is lower than that of the rare Super Sport 300+. This 300+ represents the speed of this model…in miles per hour (converted to 300 miles per hour). The “normal” Super Sport reaches a top speed of around 440 kilometers per hour. Definitely no cat urine either. At this speed you want to be able to rely on your wheels.

System error

Do you also have a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport in your garage? Then we can tell you that we want to make a detour, but also that the recall only referred to a single copy. So you don’t have to worry.

When it came to rim selection when ordering, the owner settled on the lightweight BBS wheels intended for the Bugatti Chiron Sport, rather than the faster Super Sport. Still, the blame lies with Bugatti, whose system did not prevent this decision. Therefore, the wheelset had to be changed.

Previous factory failure at Ferrari

Bugatti then went through its order lists again and states that this was the only case in which this had happened. That makes it an exceptionally small recall. It was different for Ferrari, which had to repair thousands of cars last year because of another dangerous problem.
