Gallardo Engine Cover

Has anyone had the screws on the side of the engine cover vibrate out and scratch the side butress like mine has today? A real p****d off moment. Would this be covered under warrenty?

Roytoy, how did this get resolved ? did you L dealer carry out the repair under warrenty ?

Yes, they replaced screws with self locking-tapping, then coated them with a silicon. The paint was luky enough to be able to wet sand it and rub it back to like new.........I think all the work was done by the dealer as away to keep me, the customer happy...I am pretty sure this was not from the factory warranty....they came up (dealer) with the solution.

I believe the issue with the screws coming loose is under a campaign fix when you take the car in for service. Hopefully you will get a break from your dealer(like Roytoy's dealer graciously did) and they will take care and help you out on the paint repair since it was related to a manufacturing problem.
