What this recall means for you

Some 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB vehicles built between September 9 and November 6, 2015 may have a low pressure fuel line connection that was not properly coated during manufacturing. This can allow fuel vapor to leak when the engine is started.

A fuel vapor leak during engine start increases the risk of a fire. Owners should take this recall seriously and check whether their vehicle is affected.

Ferrari will replace the low pressure fuel line assembly connection free of charge at an authorized dealer. Affected vehicles still in dealer inventory will be repaired before they are sold.
