STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- Bugatti is recalling one 2018 Chiron vehicle. One of the screws that fastens the front frame support may be loose.
- What it can cause
- A loose frame support may reduce the vehicle's structural protection in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Bugatti recommends the car not be driven until the screws have been correctly tightened. A dealer will inspect the screws to the front frame support and tighten them as necessary, free of charge. The affected vehicle was repaired March 31, 2022. Owners may contact Bugatti customer service at 1-703-826-7545. Bugatti's number for this recall is BUGCR027.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Bugatti vehicles have been recalled over the structure once before this, most recently in March 2016 as 16V166000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V096000 (seat belts), 20V732000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Bugatti with NHTSA on March 28, 2022 as campaign 22V198000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
