2001 Ferrari 456M & 2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta + 1 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the transmission oil lines to the oil cooler may not have been manufactured properly. The lines could become disconnected from the metal fitting and leak oil. If the lines leak oil, insufficient lubrication to the transmission could result. If this condition was to exist, the vehicle's transmission could become inoperative.
💥 The risk
If the transmission became inoperative while the customer was driving, it could pose a potential safety risk to the driver as well as other vehicles and potentially result in damage to the vehicle or property, and a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the two existing transmission oil lines to the cooler with new lines which have a properly crimped metal fitting connector. Owner notification began on june 4, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ferrari at 1-201-816-2651.
