SHANGHAI/MILAN—Luxury sports car maker Ferrari will recall 2,222 cars in China due to a potential fault in its braking systems, China’s market regulator said in a statement on Friday.
The recall covers the 458 Italia, 458 Speciale, 458 Speciale A, 458 Spider, 488 GTB, and 488 Spider series models, the State Administration for Market Regulation said, and is for cars imported between March 2010 and March 2019.
The recall will begin on May 30.
In the car industry, recalls and their timings are normally decided by each individual national authority after issues emerge or are flagged by the constructor.
Ferrari said that, after investigating the matter together with its supplier Bosch, they had identified the cause of the defect in affected vehicles in a brake reservoir fluid cap that may not vent properly, thereby potentially creating a vacuum inside the brake fluid reservoir.
