Lotus is recalling its Emira sports car for three separate issues.

The first sees 76 examples of the 2022-2023 Lotus Emira being recalled to fix an issue with the windscreen wipers.

“Due to a software issue, the windscreen wipers may operate at half the required speed,” said the company in its recall notice.

Lotus is recalling 26 examples of the 2022 Emira due to an issue with the seatbelt locking mechanism.

“Due to a defect during assembly, the driver and passenger’s seatbelt locking mechanism may engage at the incorrect point,” said the company in its recall notice.

“As a result, the seatbelt could engage tightly across the chest and waist and limit movements which may lead to restricted visibility.

“Additionally, the seatbelt could require increased effort to unbuckle.”
