    I tried a few times scheduling recalls at my dealer and can never get a call back from them. Seems like they aren't interested in doing recalls.


    Or maybe they don't like my skin color

    Guess I'll call them again this week. Does Ferrari tow it since it says brake fluid low, tow to dealer and there is a recall?

    Yes there is a recall… You could call Ferrari local and Ferrari USA and ask. Ferrari dealers usually have a transport truck. Is your car still under a warranty…LOL ;):D:p

    Anybody that accepts a car as work for hire must check for safety recalls. This takes literally two minutes at the NHTSA website. Doesn't matter how many owners or where the car is serviced. If your shop does not do this then ditch them unless you really don't care and just looking to save a buck at any place that says they can do the work.

    Warranty lol

    I'll call today and see what they say.

    Don't they have to do a ecu update or something? Hopefully that wouldn't effect my tune.

    ECU tune, wrap, slammed, and subs. Keep on living brotha, I love it. Maranello would have a stoke about this car

    Talked to them. My recall has been done. He did mention the rare issue of master cylinder leaking into the booster but said recall doesn't cover that. Told him my light only flashed for a second.

    Here is my fluid level. Wondering if I should just top it off and monitor it?
