Ferrari NA Recalls 2005-2022 Models for Brake Failures
Ferrari North America is recalling various 2005-2022 models* for brake failure. In the required NHTSA filing released today Ferrari said: “These vehicles are equipped with a braking system that could potentially leak brake fluid, which may lead to partial or total loss of braking capability.”
The repair consists of replacing the brake fluid reservoir cap and updating the software where applicable in the affected vehicles to provide for a different warning message if the vehicle should lose sufficient brake fluid.
Ferrari will send a notice letter to all affected vehicle owners to warn them of this issue, and instruct them to contact an authorized Ferrari dealer to schedule the free recall repair The letter will also say that in the meantime if the “low Brake Fluid” warning message appears on the vehicle dashboard, the driver should pull off the road as soon as it is safe to do so, and then contact Ferrari Roadside Assistance and get towed to the nearest authorized Ferrari dealer.
Dealers will replace the brake fluid reservoir cap and update the software to provide a new warning message for low brake fluid, free of charge as required by law. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 24, 2022.
Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-201-816-2668. Ferrari’s number for this recall is RC 80. This recall is an expansion of NHTSA recall number 21V-833.
