Ferrari recalls 23,000 cars over brakes

Ferrari recalls over 23,000 vehicles sold from 2005 to 2022, the company's luxury multimillion-dollar cars.

According to the report filed in July with the National High Traffic Safety Administration, 19 of the company's models have risk brake failure over the last seventeen years. The report states that the vehicles are equipped with inefficient brake fluid reservoir caps that may not cause vent pressure efficiently. These faulty caps can cause a vacuum that could leak brake fluid, which can lead to partial or total loss of braking capability. In order to remedy the issue, the company must replace the current reservoir caps on the cars and install new software in the vehicles to provide warnings if a brake fluid leak occurs. Only one percent of the car being recalled is affected by this issue, according to the company.

By September 24th, all Ferrari dealers and owners will be notified of the recall. Ferrari suggests that if current drivers experience a low brake fluid warning, they should immediately pull off the road and get towed to the nearest authorized Ferrari dealer. The recall represents a significant portion of all cars sold by the Italian manufacturer over the last seventeen years in the United States.

The only models sold since 2005 that were not included in the recall report are the 575 M Maranello, 599 GTB, SF 90 and 296. Customers affected by the recall can reach out directly to the company via their website for assistance.
