2017-2019 Ferrari GTC4LUSSO Recall 19V089: Door Latch

Recall 19V089 affects 582 2017-2019 Ferrari GTC4LUSSO T and GTC4LUSSO vehicles for door-lock tension. Repair is free at any franchised Ferrari dealer.

Ferrari is recalling 582 2017-2019 GTC4LUSSO and GTC4LUSSO T vehicles because tension in the door lock mechanism can stop the exterior handle from opening the door. If the door will not open from outside during an emergency, injury risk rises for the driver or passengers, and Ferrari dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?

The door latch system on 2017-2019 Ferrari GTC4LUSSO T and GTC4LUSSO vehicles uses a Bowden cable, which is a sheathed pull cable. It connects the outside door handle to the latch inside the door. When the handle is lifted, the cable moves the latch release so the door opens from outside.

On affected vehicles, the cable routing puts too much tension on the door lock mechanism. Ferrari traced the problem to the cable layout and insufficient cable length. If the cable is pulled tight in its installed position, the outside handle does not have enough free movement to release the latch, so the door stays shut from outside even when the handle is used.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner first notices the problem when an outside door handle is lifted and the door does not open as expected.

Who's affected?

Covers the GTC4LUSSO and GTC4LUSSO T across the 2017-2019 model years, with the same door latch component listed for each included model year.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific car is included.

What's the safety risk?

If the external door handle does not open the door during an emergency, the driver or passengers can have a harder time getting out, which increases injury risk. There is no warning sign before the lock or cable problem blocks outside access, so schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ferrari dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2019 Ferrari GTC4LUSSO T or GTC4LUSSO is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Ferrari dealer to schedule the free door-lock and cable repair that restores external-handle door opening.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Ferrari mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V089 and Ferrari recall 67 when you call.
  4. Keep passengers aware that an affected outside door handle can fail to open the door until the dealer repair is complete.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Ferrari technician installs new door locks and cables so the exterior door handle can release the door correctly. The recall repair is available now, and parts and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a door lock or cable repair tied to this issue, Ferrari's general reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring your repair paperwork to the service desk and ask how to submit it under recall 19V089.
