Car recalls usually design all models produced between batches, so the number should not be underestimated. Each recall also costs car companies extremely high costs to maintain the relationship between vehicles and users, but on top of some luxury brands, there may be only a few models involved in recalls, such as Bugatti's recent announcement of the recall of Chiron Pur Sport, which only involves nine cars sold in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of potential vehicles affected is 9, and the problem is that when this car is traveling at 218 mph, the tires may crack.
The car in question is the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport. We don't know if these nine potential vehicles represent all the Chiron Pur Sport sold in the U.S., but if not, we think it's close. According to the recall, Bugatti's rear tires could crack 2,500 miles later, which could lead to a "rapid drop in tire pressure." This is not good for any car, let alone a supercar that weighs up to two tons and has a speed of more than 300KM/H at any time.
Bugatti partnered with Michelin to develop Chiron Pur Sport's Cup 2 R tire, a tire designed specifically for Bugatti because of its 21-inch tire size and 355/25 series width, so there is no alternative. Currently, the solution is to replace the new Pur Sport's rear tires after 1,875 miles or 1.5 years. Of course, Pur Sport owners don't have to pay for any work. The recall does not mention faults in production vehicles. Cracks were found on the rear tires of a Pur Sport test vehicle, but the tires never had problems, and the cause of the cracks is unclear, according to documents related to the recall.
