2005-2022 Ferrari Models Recall 22V536: Brake Reservoir Cap

Recall 22V536 covers 23,555 2005-2022 Ferrari vehicles for a brake fluid reservoir cap defect. Repair is free at any franchised Ferrari dealer.

What's wrong?

The brake fluid reservoir cap on the 2005-2022 Ferrari vehicles in this recall sits on the brake fluid reservoir. That reservoir stores the hydraulic fluid the braking system uses to build pressure when you press the pedal. The cap has to let air in and out so the fluid level can move without creating suction inside the reservoir.

On affected Ferrari vehicles, the cap does not vent the reservoir properly. That ventilation problem can create a vacuum inside the reservoir, which pulls against normal fluid movement and contributes to a brake fluid leak. If enough fluid is lost, the system loses pressure and braking ability is reduced or lost.

You will see a dashboard warning light when the fluid level drops to about half of the reservoir's maximum level. Later models also show the message "Brake fluid level low, Go to dealer slowly," and certain models sound a buzzer.

Who's affected?

The scope spans older 430 and 612 cars through newer F8, Portofino, Roma, and 812 models, all tied to the hydraulic brake system.

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?

A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash. If the brake warning light, low brake fluid message, or buzzer appears, slow down, avoid hard braking, and contact a Ferrari dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Ferrari dealer once available.

What should I do?

1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2005-2022 Ferrari model is included in this recall.
2. Review Ferrari's mailed owner notice before calling a dealer about repair timing.
3. Contact a franchised Ferrari dealer and ask about the free brake-fluid-reservoir-cap replacement and software update that adds a low-brake-fluid warning.
4. Reference recall number 22V536 when you call, and bring the recall notice if you received one.
5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking when safe to do so.

What happens at the repair

Because this remedy is still listed as under development, do not treat the final dealer repair as open yet. Once Ferrari opens it, a Ferrari technician will replace the brake fluid reservoir cap and update the vehicle software so the car can show a new low brake fluid warning message. The final dealer repair will be free. If you have already paid for a related repair, ask Ferrari customer service how its general reimbursement plan handles documentation.
