SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 26 — Ferrari North America Inc, a division of Ferrari NV, is recalling some 2016 California T vehicles due to the risk of a fuel leak in the engine compartment, according to a US Department of Transportation (DOT) notice yesterday.
The recall, which began on Dec 14, affects up to 185 vehicles manufactured between Sept 8 and Nov 11, 2015.
The higher risk of a leak, which increases the chances of fire, was the result of a manufacturing defect in a part provided by a supplier, according to a filing with the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, a division of the DOT.
The move comes after Ferrari, owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, recalled upwards of 800 cars in the United States to fix a problem with its Takata airbags over the summer.
Ferrari issued a stop sale notice to dealers of the 2016 model California T, which has a list price of just over US$167,000 (RM716,922) according to The Car Guide, on Nov 23, filings show. Dealers will replace the line free of charge, the notice read. — Reuters
