488 Recall (& 458)

[stimshady]

Seems the brake fluid thing is happening as a recall... My ferrari app pinged me.

Apparently it's been narrowed down to a cap somewhere in the system?

Has anyone else heard anything?

Mate with a 458 has had the same recall. Also been told no idea when they can do the works as Ferrari can't get the necessary parts

[Coxey]

Yeah my app notified me too going to get it sorted and the service in may

If its a safety recall and ferrari cant get parts are owners going to carry on driving them ?

[markiii]

thats the debate he's having, could be an interesting insurance discussion

The best one was the airbag recalls. My first 458 had a recall on it for the 20 months I owned it but ‘couldn’t get the part’. That was a global supplier multi manufacturing recall.
Seems to be as long as you adhere to the brake fluid warning you should be fine not to worry. I’m sure they’ll get a fix sorted in the next few years….

Will just avoid braking for now..!

I believe the parts are arriving next week. There's going to be a lot of cars to fix...all 458s and all 488s (coupes and spiders). Ouch.

Some poor sod died in Japan as a result of this issue. At the time Ferrari were in denial.

And people are going to still risk driving them
That seems mad to me, not sure I would be putting my life at risk

I think the risk is minimal, mines gone 23k without this happening as have many others. More chance of winning the lottery, stop being a sensationalist!

Had mine done last week, they did it while I waited, took about 45 minutes.

Just had mine done this morning, took about an hour.
