- Dealers will replace the brake fluid reservoir cap and update the software, at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 4, 2022. Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-201-816-2668. Ferrari's number for this recall is 78.

Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 9,985 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2010 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 11 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ferrari vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 6 times before this, most recently in March 2018 as 18V164000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V007000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ferrari North America, Inc. with NHTSA on October 23, 2021 as campaign 21V833000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
