Scissor Door Gas Spring Spherical Pin Loosening (DVSA Recall R/2025/291)
ModerateBodywork & RustThe Revuelto features iconic scissor doors made of lightweight carbon-composite material, supported and balanced by heavy-duty pressurized hydraulic gas springs mounted to spherical pivot pins. On vehicles produced between January 2024 and June 2025, the threaded spherical support pins were assembled with improper torque tolerances or inadequate thread-locking adhesive at the factory. Over repeated door opening cycles, the spherical pins can loosen and back out from their chassis mounting sockets or detach completely. This causes the door gas strut to disengage, allowing the heavy scissor door to suddenly fall downward from its raised position or preventing the door from opening or latching correctly, posing an injury risk to occupants.
Scissor door failing to remain held open, dropping down unexpectedly under its own weight, Clunking or clicking noise heard from the A-pillar door hinge area when opening or closing, Excessive lateral play or wobbling in the door when raised, Difficulty unlatching or opening the door smoothly from inside or outside
