SummaryConfirmation of windscreen preparation requirements prior to fitment if required. REASON - The windscreen replacement procedure shown in the Emira service notes (operation code 11.01.01-02), describes the process for the fitment of a windscreen onto a new production windscreen frame. The procedure currently shown in the service notes will be amended at the next scheduled update to include additional information for aftersales windscreen replacement. Note: Most replacement windscreens are installed by professional auto glass fitters using best industry practices including windscreen frame and glass preparation, using methods similar to the text as shown below in this bulletin. ACTION - If required, please ensure that any Lotus technician or auto glass representative who is fitting a new windscreen to an Emira on your Dealerships behalf is made aware of this bulletin.

SummaryInspection of transmission driveshaft fitment/security if specific faults are reported. Lotus has received reports from the dealer network of: ̵ Loss of drive. ̵ Oil leaking from the transmission driveshaft seals. ̵ Transmission noise while driving. It has been identified that a potential cause of these issues is as a result of the driveshafts not being fully locked in position into the transmission at the time of vehicle assembly. Start of production for both Emira V6 powertrain (manual and automatic) and Emira 4-cylinder DCT up to 2025 model year VIN SCCLEKAX4RHB12094 inclusive. If an Emira owner contacts you, or you are presented with a vehicle within the affected VIN range which has any of the transmission faults listed above*, then the following transmission components must be checked for damage caused by incorrect installation: ̵ Driveshaft splines. ̵ Driveshaft circlips. ̵ Driveshaft oil seal. *Note: If the only fault is transmission fluid leakage from a driveshaft seal because the driveshaft is not fully locked into position and the vehicle is only at delivery mileage (less than 100 miles/160 km), then it is acceptable to push the driveshaft back into position if a visual inspection shows that the driveshaft seal has not been damaged, (and then check/top up the transmission oil level). Refer to the operation codes for driveshaft removal and re-fitment shown in sections 47.15. for both V6 and 4-cylinder powertrains from the Emira service notes which are available to view from the aftersales dealer portal at: https://dealerportal.uslotservice.lotuscars.com/log-in - from the Aftersales tab, select Service Manuals > Emira.

SummaryImportant information for a temporary recovery procedure for the Central Powertrain Controller (CPC Module). Updated software was recently released for the CPC module, but because of reported failures to complete the programming successfully when trying to upload the software, which had left some vehicles immobile* and CPC recovery cannot be achieved without performing a CPC RELOAD, therefore this update option has been temporarily disabled. *Because the CPC module in a partially programmed state cannot operate or communicate correctly with the vehicle networks. ACTION It is expected to re-enable this feature soon, but once enabled, if there is a failure to complete the programming successfully during an upgrade, please contact Emira Support (detailing on an LCMS ticket that this request requires LTIL Emira Support assistance).

SummaryNew operation required for Emira service schedule sheets. During normal road use, it has been identified that dirt/grease/road debris can accumulate around the WSS (Wheel Speed Sensors) and the magnetic rings located on the rear of the hub units. This accumulation may affect the signal being transmitted to the VDDM (Vehicle Dynamics Domain Master), also known as the ABS module, which can result in the generation of diagnostic trouble codes, activating the illumination of the amber colour MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). ACTION To ensure continuing customer satisfaction, Lotus will update the ‘Braking’ section of the V6 and 4-Cylinder Emira service schedule sheets to include a new operation to remove any loose debris on all four WSS using a suitable airline, then inspect and clean the WSS with a clean cloth and brake cleaner to remove any dirt deposits. At the same time the corresponding magnetic rings on the rear of the hub units should also be cleaned. This new procedure should be carried out at every service interval.

SummaryPotential cause of dTPMS (direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor failure. Lotus has been made aware of that some Emira vehicles have been affected by inaccurate dTPMS tire pressure readings being displayed, or, in some instances, tire pressure readings not being displayed at all. One cause of this issue has been identified as the excessive water-based lubricant being applied to fit the tire valve to the wheel rim at the wheel assembly procedure. The moisture/humidity entering the tire pressure monitoring sensor, causes corrosion and damage to the internal circuits, resulting in communication failures between the sensors and the vehicle. As a production running change, from VIN SCCLEKAX3RHB13186, a smaller quantity of gel-based lubricant is now used to fit the tire valve to the wheel rim. ACTION If diagnosing a dTPMS fault on an Emira (prior to 2024 model year VIN shown above)*, because of inaccurate dTPMS tire pressure readings, or no readings displayed at all, then: - Use the diagnostic flow chart shown on Technical Service Bulletin TSB-131-24009. - If the diagnostic route taken states that the next course of action is to replace a TPMS sensor(s), then request prior authorisation to fit a vehicle set (4) dTPMS sensors.

SummaryFitment of lower spring seat isolator to front damper assemblies to eliminate scraping noise whilst driving. Movement between the contact areas of the front damper spring seats and road springs can cause a scraping noise whilst driving. If this scraping action is occurring, then it will also cause visible witness marks on the spring seat/spring contact area. To prevent this scraping action on customer vehicles, the isolators already fitted to the upper spring seat, can now also be fitted to the base of the front road springs. As a production running change, lower spring seat isolators will also be fitted from: Emira V6 VIN: SCCLEKAX5PHN10585

SummaryTrouble shooting flow chart to show the process of self-diagnosing tyre pressure monitoring system faults before contacting Emira Support. The descriptions of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCâs), generated if a fault is detected in the TPMS, may identify the general monitoring system or circuit where a fault has been detected, but may not be able determine the specific module, component, or circuit location at fault. Therefore, DTC information can be misinterpreted by the technician resulting in excessive time, or unnecessary replacement of TPMS module components to rectify the TPMS fault.
