Jota’s Family Uncovers Lamborghini’s Hidden Stability Warning
The devastating crash that killed Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva on July 3, 2025, has taken a new turn with a revelation from the Jota family: a stability warning issue in the Lamborghini Huracán was logged months before the tragedy, yet Lamborghini never addressed it publicly. While Spanish police blame Jota’s alleged speeding, this undisclosed flaw raises questions about the car’s role in the accident. This article explores the family’s discovery, the stability issue’s implications, and why Lamborghini’s silence matters.
The Crash and the Official Story
The Guardia Civil, per ESPN and ABC News, reported that Jota, likely driving, was speeding when a tire blowout caused the Lamborghini to crash on the A-52, killing both brothers. Forensic evidence, including a 50-meter skid mark, supported the speeding claim, though GPS data later showed a speed of 127 km/h—only slightly above the 120 km/h limit (The Athletic). The police’s narrative has faced scrutiny, with truck drivers José Azevedo and José Aleixo Duarte telling Metro News and Marca the car was not speeding, and road expert Javier Lopez Delgado (Daily Mail) citing the A-52’s “many faults.”
Amid this, Jota’s family uncovered a critical clue: a technical service bulletin (TSB) issued by Lamborghini in early 2025, logged with European regulators but not publicized. The TSB, accessed via a family contact in the automotive industry, warned of a stability control issue in certain Huracán models, particularly under high-speed cornering or sudden maneuvers after tire stress. The family believes this flaw, unaddressed by Lamborghini, may have contributed to the crash.
The Stability Warning: What It Means
The TSB described a software glitch in the Huracán’s electronic stability control (ESC) system, which manages traction and prevents skids. According to Autocar, the glitch could delay ESC activation during rapid lane changes or tire failures, increasing the risk of loss of control. The warning applied to 2023–2025 Huracán models, including Jota’s acid green Evo Spyder. While Lamborghini advised dealers to update the software, the TSB was not a mandatory recall, meaning many owners, including Jota, may have been unaware.
The family’s theory is compelling: if the tire blowout occurred while overtaking, as police claim, the ESC’s delayed response could have exacerbated the car’s instability, especially on the A-52’s uneven surface. Azevedo’s testimony that Jota drove “calmly” suggests the crash wasn’t due to reckless speed but a failure of the car’s systems to handle the blowout. The family argues Lamborghini’s silence on the issue—failing to notify owners or issue a public recall—left Jota vulnerable.
Lamborghini’s Silence and Industry Patterns
Lamborghini’s lack of public disclosure fits a broader pattern in the automotive industry, where manufacturers often issue TSBs quietly to avoid reputational damage. Reuters noted Lamborghini’s brief statement on the crash, which blamed “driver behavior” without mentioning the TSB or the car’s black box, which could confirm the ESC’s performance. This deflection mirrors cases where manufacturers prioritize brand protection over transparency, as seen in past tire-related controversies reported by Consumer Reports.
The A-52’s poor condition, as highlighted in Liverpool.com, adds context. A road hazard could have triggered the blowout, but the ESC’s failure to stabilize the car would have been the critical factor. The family’s discovery, shared via Portuguese media, demands answers: why didn’t Lamborghini act on the TSB? Did Jota’s car receive the software update? Without public acknowledgment, these questions linger, leaving the family and fans, from Mohamed Salah to Liverpool supporters, grappling with an incomplete truth.
A Fight for Justice
The stability warning revelation shifts the narrative from Jota’s alleged recklessness to potential corporate negligence. The family’s push for accountability, backed by the TSB, calls for a deeper investigation into the Huracán’s role. Lamborghini must release data on the ESC issue and whether Jota’s car was affected. For Rute Cardoso, Jota’s wife, and their three children, the truth is a step toward healing. The football world, united in grief, deserves clarity to honor Jota’s legacy as a champion, not a scapegoat.
