1999 Ferrari F355 and F355 F1 Automobiles Recalled
Detroit, MI (SafetyAlerts) - The National Highway Transportation
Administration (NHTSA) has published the recall of certain 1999 Ferrari F355
and F355 F1 automobiles because, on certain passenger vehicles equipped with
Bosch braking systems, brake fluid reservoir hoses may not be resistant to
brake fluid, which could cause failure of the hoses.
According to NHTSA, should a hose failure occur, the brake failure light
would light up, followed by loss of vehicle braking efficiency.
477 of these vehicles, manufactured between October, 1998 through May, 1999
are affected by this recall.
Dealers will inspect the hoses and, if required, install new hoses that are
resistant to brake fluid. Owner notification began March 21, 2000. Owners
who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact
Ferrari at 1-201-816-2651.
