Ferrari Recalls Almost Every Car It Sold In The U.S. Since 2005 | Carscoops

A stunning number of Ferraris must be recalled as a result of a brake issue that stems from a bad brake fluid reservoir cap. The problematic component can be found in vehicles that left the factory this year and has been in use since 2005.

In all, Ferrari is recalling 23,555 vehicles in the U.S. in order to replace the brake fluid reservoir cap, which may not vent properly. As a result of this, a vacuum can be created inside the reservoir, which could leak fluid and lead to a partial or total loss of braking capability.

If left unchecked, a vehicle affected by this issue could lose all of its brake fluid and become unable to stop, which would dramatically increase the likelihood of a crash and consequent injury. Fortunately, once the fluid decreases by 50 percent, a warning light will appear on the dashboard and later model vehicles will show a message reading “Brake fluid level low, Go to dealer slowly.” An audible buzzer may also sound in certain models.

The following models are included in this recall:

Fortunately for Ferrari, the fix for this issue should be pretty straightforward. It will simply replace the reservoir caps in all affected vehicles with a new model that has been designed to vent properly.

In addition to sending out a notification to owners to come in and have their caps replaced free of charge starting on September 24, the automaker will also get in touch with owners to let them know about this issue and tell them that if the low brake fluid warning light comes on, they should pull over as soon as it’s safe to do so and contact roadside assistance for help. The automaker is also working on a new message to display within the vehicles when brake fluid gets too low.
