Another big disappointment for Ferrari, which will have to verify the correct operation of the braking system of 23,500 cars of the brand in question starting from 2005. This figure is twice as large as the recall from the market exactly in October 2021.
At the time, Ferrari had to recall almost 10,000 such cars for the same problem.
According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the vent system for the brake fluid (oil) reservoir cap may not be working properly.
This creates a potential vacuum inside the tank and fluid leakage.
The consequence would be a partial, or in extreme cases even total, loss of braking power, something dangerous for any car and especially for super sports cars.
Ferrari will notify owners of the affected vehicles by post from September 24, inviting them to go to an authorized workshop, where a technician will replace the brake fluid reservoir cap free of charge.
Some may say that 23,000 cars is not that many, but for a luxury manufacturer like Ferrari, this is a huge amount. Suffice to say, this recall concerns a very wide range of models, dating back to 2005.
It's not the first time Ferrari has made such large-scale recalls.
As already mentioned, in October 2021, up to 10,000 cars were fixed for the same braking problem, but there was another recall of 2,200 cars in China in April this year.
