We would like to inform You that Ferrari S.p.A. has decided to implement a preventive recall campaign for your [model] vehicle, with chassis number [VIN].

On receipt of this notice, you are kindly requested to contact your dealer or another Authorised Ferrari Service Centre urgently to book an appointment to carry out the corrective action. This service will be carried out promptly and free of charge.

Contacted my dealer already and they informed me they gonna check and get back to me by tomorrow about this!

Any idea?

P.s: my car is brand new 488 Spider (2019) delivered last month.

Regards

 

Haven't received that one yet.
Just got the AirBag replacement recall letter.

 

My 2018 488GTS has an airbase recall. When I spoke with the dealer to schedule the airbag replacement. I asked them about the fuel vapor separator. They told me that my car was not affected as it was mostly applicable to most limited and special edition cars.

 

Last week's thread https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/u-s-488-plus-other-model-recall.596502/

 

I received both the airbag and the vapor canister recall notifications. 2018 GTB.

 

2018 488 Spider, and received the airbag recall notice, but read the vapor canister recall notice on the forum last week. Dealer will schedule the airbag "soon," but did not know about the vapor canister, wanted to check and get back to me.

Did you take any action yet?

 

I got a call from my dealer, and informed they gonna take my car for two days for full checkup and to check the issue mentioned in my first post.

Also they will do the necessary checkup for the upcoming track after which is after 10 days

Will update you here for any progress regarding the issue.

Cheers

 

This was the reason for all my check engine lights from last summer. After spraying a soapy solution on the welds, a very small leak was found. No check engine lights since.

 

Update:

My dealer called me and said there is a small part in my car that they gonna replace it related to the issue mentioned in my original post.

Did not ask much questions as I am not that technical person. As long as my car will be fixed for whatever is the reason, i will be more than happy to have it back in a good shape

It will take two days, so im gonna miss my lovely Ferrari when coming back from work and not find it there

Tomorrow im gonna visit my dealer to have a cup of coffee with GM. so if you have any question about this issue, i will be more than happy to ask them and post the answer here.

Cheers

 

Not yet. I have an appointment on April 18 and will post the outcome.
