Bugatti Divo Recall 20V732: Stability control may stay in reduced mode after restart

NHTSA campaign 20V732, reported November 24, 2020, 73 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

On certain Bugatti Chiron, Chiron Sport and Divo vehicles, the Electronic Stability Control does not return to its full-function default mode after an ignition cycle if Handling Mode was selected on the Drive Mode switch. The vehicle can restart with Handling Mode still active, which affects how the stability system performs.

Because the stability control may not operate in its normal default setting, the risk of a crash is increased. The vehicles do not fully comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126 for electronic stability control systems.

Bugatti will notify owners, and authorized dealers will reprogram the software of the affected control units free of charge. You can contact Bugatti customer service at 1-703-826-7545 with questions, and check your VIN for open recalls.
