According to the recall notice, Lamborghini Revuelto vehicles manufactured between 2023 and 2024 are affected.
The supercar retails for more than $1m.
The notice, submitted to the Australian Department of Infrastructure, states that 'the pin supporting the door gas springs may not have been assembled according to manufacturing specifications, which could cause it to become loose or detach.'
'If this occurs when in the open position, the door may descend downwards with significant force on the driver or passenger.
'Additionally, excess force may be required to open the door from the inside of the vehicle, and the occupant may need extra time to exit the vehicle.
'In the event of an emergency, if the occupant is unable to exit the vehicle quickly and/or if the door descends with force on the driver or passenger, it will increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.'

Banked $10,000 30 years ago instead of buying shares? You've cost yourself $180,000
When investor Adrian Blazic first put his money into the share market, it was a leap of faith. 'No one knows what's going to happen,' he says. 'It's not about predicting the future, it's about sticking to a strategy.' That strategy — staying invested through the ups and downs — has delivered for him. 'I'd be expecting to average 9.5 to 10 per cent per annum,' Blazic says. His story echoes the findings of Vanguard's 2025 Index Chart, released on Friday, which lays bare the extraordinary gap in returns between long-term investing and parking money in cash. According to Vanguard, a $10,000 investment in Australian shares made on July 1, 1995 would have grown to $143,786 by June 30 this year. The same amount invested in US shares would now be worth $214,332, more than $180,000 ahead of the cash equivalent and about $72,000 more than Australian shares. By contrast, a $10,000 deposit left in a savings account over the same 30-year period would have grown to just $33,677. The average annual returns since mid-1995 were: US shares: 10.8 per cent Australian shares: 9.3 per cent International shares (ex-Australia): 8.3 per cent Australian listed property: 8 per cent Australian bonds: 5.5 per cent Cash: 4.1 per cent All figures assume income was reinvested and exclude investment acquisition costs, fees and taxes. 'Share market investors on average achieved at least triple the dollar returns of individuals who chose to keep their cash tied up in savings accounts over the last 30 years,' says Daniel Shrimksi, managing director of Vanguard Australia. The three-decade period tracked by the Index Chart includes some of the most severe market events in modern history, including the dot com crash in 2000, the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Global Financial Crisis in 2008–09, the COVID-19 plunge in 2020, and more recent volatility driven by high US tariffs on some countries. Each event triggered steep declines. September 11 sent global stocks tumbling. The GFC wiped trillions from markets. COVID sparked a 34 per cent crash. Yet every time, markets recovered. 'The index chart demonstrates how investment markets have kept rising strongly over time despite several significant share market corrections, economic downturns, changes in governments and world leaders, wars, natural disasters, and the impacts stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic,' added Shrimksi. He argues investing should be approached like a long-distance race. 'Just like superannuation, investors should be focused on achieving longer-term outcomes rather than on shorter-term wins and losses,' he said. 'The most successful investors have a disciplined approach and understand that volatility is typically transient. The best investment results are generally achieved through compound growth over time, not by trying to time when to buy and sell, that's a futile exercise.' Scott Phillips from The Motley Fool says volatility can rattle even experienced investors. 'It can look really volatile, and sometimes it is,' he says. Vanguard's data shows why chasing last year's winners can be risky. Asset class rankings often change dramatically from one year to the next. 'The best and worst performing asset classes in any one financial year rarely mirrors the returns of the previous financial year for a whole range of reasons,' Shrimksi says. 'That's why it's so important to have a diversified mix of investments across asset classes and regions. While shares have delivered the strongest returns over the longer term, there have been years when more defensive assets such as bonds, and even cash, have achieved the best returns.' For Blazic, the takeaway from decades of data and lived experience is simple: 'With investing, it's certainly a long-term game.' The advice from the experts is just as straightforward: save consistently, invest regularly, build wealth slowly over time and avoid get rich quick schemes.

Desperately seeking cure for agent underquoting
To submit a letter to The Age, email letters@ Please include your home address and telephone number below your letter. No attachments. See here for our rules and tips on getting your letter published. REAL ESTATE As a parent of a child who has attended fruitless auction sales and paid for building inspections, my heart bled for the young couple who spent $500 for a building report on a place they 'could not afford' (″ This couple spent $500 trying to buy their dream home. They never stood a chance ″, 17/8. I am also concerned about the dishonesty of real estate representatives with underquoting. The 'cure' I see is relatively simple. Anyone placing their house up for auction should be required to provide three separate building reports similar to those provided by a vendor of a used car. Those three reports should be provided by building inspectors known to the agent and not the vendor. That would save the pain of potential buyers forking out and losing potential deposit money. The price guide has been a furphy for a long time. My wife and I attended an auction many years ago where we were told by the agent 'we would get it' at a price we found later was at least $40,000 lower than the reserve which that agent would have fully known. When a 'price guide' is given, it should also be mandatory that if someone offers the top reserve plus 5 per cent, that offer must be legally accepted. It may put an exaggerated price on a house but would give a buyer a fair guide and save the grief of auctions that many experience. Auctions do not contribute to economic productivity. At a federal level, any overseas 'investor' buying property – and not a resident – should be subject to a 100 per cent, or close to it, capital gains tax. If they have no intention of contributing to Australia economically on a full-time basis, why should they profit? Real estate is not productive investment. As for Australian investors and capital gains tax: For people who have been forced to relocate for work, two houses (one primary and one secondary residence) are fair enough. Otherwise, they should be subject to a far heavier capital gains tax than they do at present on a subsequent house. Trevor Gibbs, Ocean Grove Vendor should provide building report As The Age's 'Bidding Blind' investigation (17/8) shows, many house hunters are unnecessarily out of pocket in investigating a prospective property when the practice of underquoting renders that property out of reach. While revealing the reserve price prior to auction would go some way to resolving the situation, I consider there is another way similar to the private sale of a vehicle for which the seller must obtain a roadworthy certificate: Why not make the property's vendor responsible for providing an independent building inspection report? Not only would this redress the balance between vendors and potential buyers and reduce buyer futility, but it would also improve housing sector productivity by significantly reducing the number of unnecessary building inspection reports. Kevin Bailey, Croydon Lock in price expectations Significant disparity in the values between the real estate agent's ″quoted range″ and the vendor's ″locked in″ reserve figure for properties will continue until these two decisions have to be made concurrently and collaboratively. Andrea Middling, Canterbury Cooling on real estate agents Why is there no cooling-off period with real estate agents? There needs to be, as with most other contracts, particularly given the size of the asset. When selling, one agent was so rude the moment the contract was signed that I waited out the 90 days. I eventually sold very well with a responsible agent. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to hold off. This is a serious anomaly with contract law. Katharine Anderson, Windsor THE FORUM Not affordable Thank you, Daniella White for exposing the appalling failures of the Victorian government's fast-track planning regime ‴ Apartments for the rich': Developments fast-tracked with no affordable housing,″ (17/8). In metropolitan Melbourne, multi-storey apartment blocks are being fast-tracked under the guise of providing affordable housing while actually allowing expensive apartments affordable only by the well-off. In the Geelong suburb of Rippleside a similar story is unfolding. With 93 apartments and a marina built and a further four-storey apartment block approved, the site's developer consortium applied for an increase to seven storeys with a further 84 apartments. This was rejected last July by the Geelong Council. The developers have now gone to the DFP for fast-track approval of a seven-storey block of 83 apartments and a marina office on a waterfront site that already includes 96 apartments each valued at $2-$3 million and a marina. It is clear that affordable housing is, at best, the Cinderella of the planning story unfolding, while the developers get the golden slipper. The Allan government must stop this rort. Rosemary Kiss, Rippleside Bendigo festival Re ' Not quite a full stop for writers festival', (7/8). What good can come from placing restrictions on those engaged in literature? Writers' festivals should consider it an opportunity to discuss delicate topics in an intelligent and thoughtful manner. Craig Tucker, Newport
