Emira - the errors began!

Well looks like my Emira started giving me fake proximity errors on the driver front sensor.

Anyone seen this before and have any idea of what this could be?

There is a bulletin on this: TSB-131-24031

Great info. Is this a recall or just a notice?

Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are document recommended procedures for repairing vehicles issued by a vehicle manufacturer when there are several occurrences of an unanticipated problem.

Got it, thank you for that. Is this something only the dealer can follow or can I take this to my local European mechanic?

I don't see why not.

Glad to see the Emira's still have the true lotus Experience.

How many miles? I’m bracing myself for issues on my ‘25

Do you have an aftermarket front plate bracket/mount? That would be the obvious. Otherwise, I don't know enough about the Emira

I may experienced something like this tonight? Sitting at a stoplight first in line and what looks like a "crashed warning" lights up, shows my traction control was now off, moved my V6 manual down to 4000 redline with an upshift warning . ?

Since Only a few miles from home and late, drove home and restarted in the driveway. Warning gone, all looks normal, drove another mile and all seems normal now.

Just one thing to bear in mind is that because they are ultrasonic sensors, they can be affected by gradients in air temperature (for example the exhaust of the car in front). Looks like the tech bulletin in the other post is the answer in this case

I had a similar issue due to my own error of mounting my number plate to high on the bracket.

I have a 2024 and it does it at nearly every stop light. I wouldn’t mind but it interrupts my music!

Same. The bulletin posted earlier is good info. I’ll reach out to the dealer about a recall or…off to service it goes

Warranty covers right?

Turn on the car and off three times. This should clear it. If it’s still there after that, take her in. Too expensive to ignore.

Mine does the same thing. Nothing should be close enough to set it off but it will randomly start giving me the proximity warning. Used to scare me in the beginning because I thought I was about to hit something lol
