DEFECT #1 - WHEELS


Posted on: 2001-10-01
Description
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.  The wheel bolt inserts fitted in the magnesium wheel can show signs of cracking.

Consequence
If the wheel bolt inserts begin to crack, a reduction of the torque applied to the wheel would result.  Vehicle handling could be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace all four magnesium wheels with wheels made of aluminum, which are not fitted with inserts.  All the wheel bolts will also be replaced because the aluminum wheels require a different type of bolt.  Owner notification began october 1, 2001.  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.

Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
