Ferrari recalls more than 2,000 supercars over brake fluid issue

In China, Ferrari has issued a recall for around 2,222 of its luxury sports cars, notifying owners that the vehicles' brakes may be defective. According to a Bloomberg article, the affected models include almost every car Ferrari has sold in China since 2018.

Cars affected in this recall, according to a notice released on the State Administration for Market Regulation's website, may raise the chance of brake fluid leakage, which can result in impaired braking performance or brake failure. The users have been informed to drive the vehicle with caution. On May 30, the recall will begin.

Ferrari has issued a recall for cars in the 458 Italia, 458 Speciale, 458 Speciale A, 458 Spider, 488 GTB, and 488 Spider series built between March 2, 2010, and March 12, 2019.
