FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
McLaren Automotive Incorporated (McLaren) is recalling certain 2016-2020 720S, 2019 Senna, 2020 GT, and 2017-2019 570GT vehicles. The Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) foam pad underneath the fuel tank may retain moisture and corrode the fuel tank, potentially causing a fuel leak.

Common issues and what they cost

Hydraulic suspension/Proactive Chassis Control fluid leaks $1,200 - $4,500

The 720S uses a complex hydraulic cross-link suspension. Age, heat, and seal wear can cause seepage at lines, accumulators, or valve blocks, leading to warning messages, uneven ride height, or harsh damping. Early repair prevents pump damage and larger system contamination.
Coolant leaks (hoses, clamps, radiator/expansion tank) $600 - $2,500

High underhood temperatures and tight packaging can accelerate hose and clamp fatigue. Small coolant leaks may show as sweet odor, low coolant warnings, or intermittent overheating in traffic. Addressing minor leaks early helps avoid heat-soak issues and secondary damage to sensors and wiring.
Battery/charging sensitivity and low-voltage faults $450 - $1,200

These cars are sensitive to battery condition; infrequent use or a weak AGM battery can trigger multiple spurious faults, slow cranking, and module communication errors. A proper battery test, replacement, and ensuring a maintainer is used typically resolves recurring warnings and start/stop glitches.
Front lift system leaks or slow operation $900 - $3,500

The nose-lift system relies on hydraulic components that can develop minor leaks or internal wear, causing slow lift, uneven height, or failure to hold position. Often it’s a seal, line, or pump issue. Fixing early reduces the chance of pump burnout and repeated fault codes.
Brake squeal/warped feel and pad/rotor wear (especially carbon-ceramic) $800 - $12,000

Carbon-ceramic setups can squeal and feel juddery if pads glaze from light use or if deposits build up. Track heat cycles or improper bedding can worsen it. Sometimes a pad change and proper bedding helps; damaged rotors are expensive and require careful inspection.
