Ferrari recalls thousands of supercars, many in China, due to brakes risk
- The company’s website advised owners to drive with caution, and to stop immediately and arrange for towing if the ‘low brake fluid level’ warning light comes on
- The luxury sports carmaker is recalling 2,222 vehicles in China alone, nearly every vehicle the company has sold in the country from 2018 to March of this year
Ferrari will recall thousands of cars worldwide, most of them from China, due to problems with their braking system.
The luxury sports carmaker confirmed it will begin the recall on May 30, after announcing the issue two weeks ago.
“Vehicles involved in this recall campaign are equipped with a brake reservoir fluid cap that may not vent properly, thereby potentially creating vacuum inside the brake fluid reservoir,” Maranello, Italy-based Ferrari said in a statement.
The recall involves some of the carmaker’s 458 and 488 vehicles. While Ferrari didn’t provide details on the total number of cars involved globally, it’s recalling 2,222 vehicles in China alone, warning owners of possible problems with brakes.
A China recall of that magnitude would amount to nearly every vehicle Ferrari sold in the country from 2018 through March of this year, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data.
