What's wrong?
The 2016 Ferrari California T uses a low pressure fuel line to carry fuel to the fuel pump feed pipe. That connection has to seal tightly so liquid fuel and fuel vapor stay inside the fuel system while the pump supplies the engine.
On affected California T vehicles, the metallic part of the fuel pipe did not receive the proper coating treatment from the supplier. Because of that coating problem, the low pressure fuel line does not connect properly to the fuel pump feed pipe. The connection can leak fuel vapor instead of keeping the system sealed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is inside the fuel-line connection, so an owner should not count on a dashboard light, sound, or change in how the car drives to identify it.
