Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada lists: 458 2010–2015 · 488 2016–2019

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the braking system could leak brake fluid. If this happens, there could be a partial or total loss of braking.

Why it matters

Reduced braking or a loss of brakes can increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ferrari will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development and Ferrari will send you a second notice once a final repair is available. Ferrari advises that if the "Low Brake Fluid" warning message appears on the vehicle dashboard, you should pull off the road as soon as it is safe to do so. You should then contact Ferrari Roadside Assistance and get towed to the nearest dealer.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuel vapour separator contains a manufacturing defect which could allow for a small fuel leak.

Why it matters

Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, creates the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have fuel vapour separator replaced.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
