The vehicle systems named most often in McLaren 570S complaints (one complaint can name several).
In the owners’ own words, as filed with NHTSA. Unverified reports; NHTSA removes personal details before publishing.
The contact owns a 2019 McLaren 570S. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware that the passengerâs and driverâs side door hinges were cracked around the mounting points on the door and the frame of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the door hinges had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.
Both door hinges that support the dihedral doors have numerous fractures. If one of the hinges is to fully fail, the door would fall on the person, critically injuring or killing them. The manufacturer denied replacing the door hinges with the revised versions that are not prone to cracking under goodwill.
Repair instructions and other communications the manufacturer sent dealers about known issues. A TSB is not a recall, and the repair is usually free only while the car is under warranty; ask your dealer for the bulletin number.

NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opens these when complaints point to a possible safety defect. Many end in a recall.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 20

No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
