Lamborghini Murci&eacute;lago - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div>
<br />
We've seen a rash of recalls in the past few months, but none of the cars and trucks under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have quite the cache of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/lamborghini/">Lamborghini Murci&eacute;lago</a>. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/lamborghini/">Raging Bull</a> is recalling 428 of its 2007 and 2008 model year Murcielago coupes and roadsters for a potentially serious problem that could result in a fuel leak and possibly a fire. The problem apparently lies with the welds holding the fuel pump support inside the fuel tank. If the welds fail to hold, the tank could detach - and nobody wants a $350,000 exotic with a detached fuel tank. <br />
<br />
Owners of the potentially defective Murci&eacute;lagos can take their supercar to the nearest Lambo dealer for a free repair. Hit the jump to read over the official NHTSA press release.<br />
