The Bugatti Chiron Has Been Recalled, But It's Not So Bad For The Owners

A faulty seat recliner has led to a worldwide recall of the Chiron, but Bugatti is making life very easy for those affected...

If you’d just spent £2.5 million on a Bugatti Chiron, would you be irked at the prospect of your 1479bhp hypercar being recalled? Possibly, but it seems recall life is rather different for the marque’s well-heeled owners.

47 Chirons have been recalled worldwide due to potentially faulty welds on the brackets for the seat recliner mechanism, but it shouldn’t cause the average Bugatti driver much stress. Automotive News Europe reports that the VW Group-owned brand will be sending out “Flying Doctor” concierge technicians, and personally calling each of the 47 owners.

Affected cars will be sent to the nearest Bugatti dealer via lorry, where the entire seat assembly will be replaced with a fresh unit, should there be dodgy welds present.

Meanwhile, we’re still wondering when Bugatti might use the car to have a crack at Koenigsegg’s top speed record

This is an awesome way to get a recall. Too bad other companies don’t treat you so nicely.

Other companies have to recall more than 47 cars at a time though.

Other companies sell much cheaper cars, and if you’d expect such service after buying a Yaris, then idk man

“Flying doctor”… for a car. You can’t get fancier than that.

If Volkswagen would send out flying doctors to fix all of their recalled cars:
