Ferrari Issues Recall for Loose Driveshaft Screws in Select Models

History Behind the Recall

Ferrari has recently issued a recall to address a potential safety issue impacting a small number of its vehicles in the United States. The Italian luxury automaker identified a problem with loose driveshaft screws, which could increase the risk of the driveshaft disconnecting while the vehicle is in motion. This issue, if unaddressed, poses a serious safety hazard by potentially compromising vehicle control.

Which Models Are Affected?

The recall affects specific Ferrari models sold in the U.S. market:

  • 2023 Ferrari Roma Spider
  • 2023 Ferrari Portofino M
  • 2024 Ferrari F8 Spider

According to recall documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the driveshaft screws in these models may have been inadequately tightened during assembly. This can lead to a gradual loosening of the screws over time, risking complete driveshaft detachment. Though only four vehicles are confirmed to be impacted by this defect, Ferrari’s brand reputation is at stake if they do not address these problems quickly.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Ferrari is contacting affected owners directly to arrange for repairs. The company advises owners to schedule an appointment with an authorized Ferrari dealer as soon as possible to have the driveshaft screws inspected and tightened if necessary. This service will be performed free of charge to ensure that all affected models meet Ferrari’s safety and performance standards.

In the meantime, owners can verify if their vehicle is subject to the recall by visiting the NHTSA’s recall website and entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or contacting Ferrari customer service directly for assistance.

How Ferrari Owners Can Take Back Control

While recalls have been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, just like this – underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
