Automobile companies may recall their cars from time to time due to some production errors. After the necessary corrections and repairs are made, the vehicles are delivered to their owners. These recalls can sometimes involve hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Sometimes there are lower volume recalls.
Ferrari recalls cars due to brake problem
A recall of 24,000 vehicles may seem small for companies that produce millions of cars each year, but for a brand like Ferrari that produces highly specialized cars, this number is quite high. If we recall that the Italian manufacturer produces only a few thousand vehicles a year, we can better explain how serious this figure is.
Ferrari makes date for transition to electric cars
Ferrari shared its roadmap for the electric car. The company plans to launch its first fully electric model in 2025.
Ferrari has recalled 23,555 vehicles. These vehicles include models that are currently in production, as well as cars that were produced years ago. With the recall, the Italian company will recall the models it produced almost 20 years ago.
The reason for such a wide-ranging recall is shown as a brake problem. In the statement, it is stated that in some cases, the brake fluid reservoir does not receive enough air in the vehicles in question.
Such a situation may cause the hydraulic tank to leak. For this reason, there may be a decrease in performance in the brakes, as well as the possibility that the brakes will not hold at all after a while. Some Ferrari models have a warning system that indicates low brake fluid.
Fixing this error is quite simple. The software will be updated after the hydraulic tank cap of the vehicles is changed. Affected vehicle owners can call their dealer for this repair. We recommend that users who receive warnings about the issue from their vehicles do not use their vehicles. The official recall for affected vehicles will begin at the end of September.
