Ferraris go fast, but a new NHTSA recall suggests they could fail to stop.
According to the NHTSA filing, the issue relates to the brake fluid reservoir cap which"may not vent properly, creating a vacuum inside the brake fluid reservoir, and resulting in a brake fluid leak that may lead to a partial or total loss of brake function."
You may be thinking: Ferrari probably doesn't make a ton of cars, how bad could a recall be? Well, according to the NHTSA recall report, a whopping 23,555 Ferraris are implicated and will need to be serviced, which is nearly, well, all of them. Considering the average price of a Ferrari is at least a couple hundred thousand dollars, some quick math proves billions of dollars worth of Ferraris are potentially defective.
The repair is fairly straightforward. Ferrari will replace the brake fluid reservoir cap and update the software in the affected vehicles to provide for a different warning message if the vehicle should lose sufficient brake fluid. In the meantime, if your Ferrari flashes a"low Brake Fluid" warning, NHTSA directs you to pull off of the road as soon as it is safe to do so and have the car immediately towed to a Ferrari service center.
