What's wrong?
The turbocharger oil feed pipe on the 2025 Ferrari 296 GTS and 296 Gtb carries engine oil to the turbocharger. That oil lubricates and cools the turbocharger while it spins under high heat. A nut at the oil filter connection holds that pipe connection tight so oil stays sealed inside the system.
On affected vehicles, a supplier workstation applied the wrong tightening force to that nut. If the nut is not tightened correctly, the connection can leak oil. Oil leaking near hot engine or turbocharger parts can lead to a thermal event, which is the safety concern in NHTSA campaign 25V716.
There is no warning sign before failure. Ferrari's recall information does not identify a dashboard message, sound, or change in how the vehicle drives before the oil leak starts.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ferrari technician verifies the tightness of the attachment nut for the oil filter connection to the turbocharger oil feed pipes and retightens the nut as needed. Do not drive the vehicle until the dealer repair is complete. The inspection and repair are free under the recall. Ferrari's standard reimbursement plan covers qualifying out-of-pocket repair costs paid before Ferrari's recall notice. To claim reimbursement, submit a signed written claim with a receipt that identifies the equipment replaced and the vehicle information Ferrari requests. If the vehicle was under original warranty, include documentation showing warranty service was denied or did not correct the problem.
