2006 FERRARI F430 Recalls (2)
- Campaign:
- 06V478000 on 12/19/2006
- Component:
- Power train:manual transmission
- Affected:
- 216
- Defect:
- On certain coupe and spider vehicles equipped with manual six-speed transmission, there is a non-conforming right-angle union in the clutch pump. this could cause a hair-line crack to form under normal conditions due to heat, which could result in fluid leakage from the braking/clutch hydraulic system.
- Consequence:
- This leakage, in turn, will cause the braking/clutch hydraulic system fluid level warning light to illuminate and, if not remedied, could ultimately affect the functionality of the clutch control pedal. this could result in a reduction in the driver's ability to shift gears while driving, rendering the vehicle inoperable which could result in a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the non-conforming union in the clutch. in addition, the seal ring, rubber hose and screw collars that are attached to the union will be replaced. the recall began on january 3, 2007. owners may contact ferrari at 1-201-816-2600.

- Ferrari recall no. 46.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
