More than 23,000 Ferrari vehicles recalled over major brake issue
Luxury sports car manufacturer Ferrari has recalled tens of thousands of vehicles after an issue with the brake fluid reservoir was discovered.
The recall was filed with the US federal agency National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on July 26. On August 3, Ferrari finally acknowledged it.
According to the NHTSA, the brake fluid reservoir cap “may not vent properly, creating a vacuum inside the brake fluid reservoir.” This could cause brake fluid leakage that can impact or fully disable the car’s brake function.

This issue has affected most Ferrari cars made since 2005. We’re not entirely sure why the company didn’t pump the brakes on this mechanism in 17 years, but better late than never, right?
