    Does anyone know which Californias will be recalled because of the brake fluid issue?

    Letter received yesterday says "... in certain Model Year 2009-2017 Ferrari California vehicles." RC80/NHTSA22V-536 recall covers many Ferrari models and over 23,000 cars in total. Here is a portable document file for NHTSA

    The reason I posted this question is because there has been some confusion. When I checked my VIN number on the Kelley Blue Book website and the NHTSA recalls site, neither said my car needed to be recalled. I then checked with Ferrari of San Francisco and they told me the same thing. Last week I received a letter from Ferrari North America stating my car based on its VIN will be recalled.
    As it turns out, my car is now at Ferrari San Francisco for routine maintenance. They tell me they have found a fluid leak which appears to be from the gearbox. I have not had a chance yet to ask if the brake fluid is low.

    My MyFerrari Ap shows the same thing, so two weeks ago I called the local dealer (F of San Francisco), and they show no record of the campaign being performed on my Cali <- which makes sense, since my Cali hasn't been to a dealer for a long time and was not out of my possession during the timeframe reported on MyFerrari. Seems to me that there's some data integrity issues in Maranello...

    Received Ferrari NA, Inc, Brake Fluid Reservoir Cap, IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL letter via US Mail on Monday 10/12/22 with VIN # for my 2021 ROMA.
    Have entered my VIN on Ferrari and other recall sites, but all reported no info or no recall. Made appointment with my Newport Beach CA dealer service, they too didn't seem to know about my ROMA being recalled! Bad part of the Recall letter, "The replacement part is not yet available yet".

    My dealer’s service department told me today that there is a new reservoir cap to replace, as well as a software update to ensure the system knows about the new physical reservoir cap. That software patch has not been released yet, which is preventing completing the recall service. No ETA available on that patch yet.

    My Ferrari dealer in The Netherlands told me they would carry out the recall when my Cali is in for maintenance next week. Wonder if that indeed will happen if software patch is not available yet..

    I’m sure that software patches are region specific, so the delay may only be related to Ferraris in North America or even just the USA. Who knows? Good luck next week!
