DEFECT #1 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE


Posted on: 2009-02-05
Description
Ferrari is recalling 1,950 my 2005-2007 f40 spider vehicles.  The defect involves the hydraulic hoses for the convertible top that are located inside of the engine compartment.  The heat from the engine may cause hair-line cracks to form in the hoses which may result in fluid leakage from the convertible top hydraulic system.  

Consequence
This leakage in turn, will cause the convertible top warning light to illuminate and if not remedied, could ultimately leak fluid into the engine compartment causing smoke and a fire, rendering the vehicle inoperable and possibly resulting in a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will install protective heat shields over the convertible top hydraulic lines to insulate them from the heat of the engine compartment.  This service will be performed free of charge.  The recall began on february 9, 2009.  Owners may contact ferrari at 201-816-2600.
