McLaren has announced a recall for certain 2021 765LT coupes due to a unique issue: the rear window may detach at high speeds. The solution involves adding fasteners to each corner of the polycarbonate rear panel.
- Affected Models: 765LT coupes (2021)
- Unaffected: 765LT Spider and coupes with a factory-installed roof scoop
- Problem: Polycarbonate rear window may detach at high speeds
- Driving Advisory: Avoid racing tracks and keep speeds below 96 mph with windows down
McLaren identified that the adhesive bonding the rear window to the frame can fail, especially at racetrack speeds, posing a crash risk. This was discovered after several warranty claims reported a rattling noise from the window.
1. Initial Discoveries: Issue detected from warranty claims and track safety requirements.
2. Interim Solution: Applying additional adhesive until a permanent fix is available.
3. Permanent Fix: Installing mechanical fasteners on each corner of the window.
Owners will receive recall notifications and can contact McLaren customer service for more information.
