Service Campaign 423 For VIN Write...

I just had an annual service completed on my 2007 F430 Coupe at Ferrari North Scottsdale. I was told up front that service campaign 423 would also be performed on my car. I could not find any mention of this campaign anywhere so thought I would pass on some information.

The work performed was described as "Perform service campaign 423 for VIN Write in right side ECU." My result was "Checked NCMR parameters for properly written vehicle VIN. Found OK. No further action needed." This was no charge for this work.

The service adviser told me that the reason for this campaign was that some cars did not have the VIN stored correctly in the right side ECU and that this had caused problems with emissions tests in some jurisdictions.

If you've ever had issues with passing emissions testing this may be worthwhile checking into. Otherwise, I probably just wasted 30 seconds of your life (sorry!)
