Lamborghini bulletin BI.20.19
What it saysInformation for the field with regard to the availability of a new version of AMI cable that is to be used in case a replacement is necessary. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Lamborghini filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Oct 4, 2019, received Jun 15, 2020, about the equipment. It names 10 model years (2016–2020). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Lamborghini BI.20.19 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the BI.20.19 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does BI.20.19 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 10 model years: 2020 Lamborghini Aventador, 2019 Lamborghini Aventador, 2018 Lamborghini Aventador, 2017 Lamborghini Aventador, 2016 Lamborghini Aventador, 2020 Lamborghini Huracan and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
