After last year’s problem with the brake system and the recall of over 10,000 vehicles of the 458 Italia, 458 Speciale, 458 Speciale Aperta, 458 Spider, 488 GTB and 488 Spider models, the company from Maranello this time found itself in the same problem but on a larger scale. Ferrari said it was recalling over 23,000 cars.
According to information coming from the company, the recall affects various models manufactured in 2005 and later, namely the Ferrari 430, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, Ferrari California, Ferrari 612, Ferrari FF, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, Ferrari LaFerrari, Ferrari California T, Ferrari F60 America, Ferrari F12 TDF, Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, Ferrari GTC4 Lusso, Ferrari GTC4 T, Ferrari Portofino, Ferrari 812, Ferrari 488 Pista, Ferrari F8 Spider, Ferrari F8 Tributo and Ferrari Roma.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notified the Maranello company that they believe the brake fluid reservoir cap will not provide adequate ventilation. This can lead to liquid leakage in the tank and partial or even complete loss of brakes, which endangers the safety of the driver and other traffic participants.
Ferrari said it will notify all owners of vehicles affected by this decision to replace the reservoir cap and brake fluid, free of charge.
