A recall has been issued for a number of Lamborghinis after a fault was detected with the cars' hood hinges.

Australia's consumer watchdog, the ACCC, announced the recall on Wednesday, alerting owners of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Coupe and Aventador SVJ 63 of a defect with the hood hinges.

"The hood hinges may loosen and may not hold the hood closed," the alert said.
