An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and other models) - Repair. Due to a defect in the evaporative emission control system (fuel limit vent valve). Defective component (part name): Evaporative emission control system (fuel limit vent valve). Condition of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards and its cause: ① In the evaporative emission control system, the control threshold for the valve controlling the intake of fuel vapor from the fuel tank (fuel limit vent valve) is inappropriate. Certain driving operations or similar actions with a full fuel tank may therefore allow liquid fuel to enter the canister and purge valve. The fuel may damage the purge valve, illuminating the warning light, and fuel or fuel vapor may leak from the canister scavenging hose. ② In the evaporative emission control system, the control threshold for the valve controlling the intake of fuel vapor from the fuel tank (fuel limit vent valve) is inappropriate. Certain driving operations or similar actions with a full fuel tank may therefore allow liquid fuel to enter the canister. Fuel or fuel vapor may consequently leak from the canister scavenging hose. Published 2017-08-04.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-2461. Corrective measures: ① On all vehicles, replace the fuel limit vent valve, purge valve and fuel cap with improved parts, and replace the canister and leak detection pump with new parts. Also add a 3-way valve to change the fuel vapor discharge route and modify the engine control unit program. ② On all vehicles, replace the fuel limit vent valve with an improved part, and replace the canister and leak detection pump with new parts.
