Ferrari 550 Barchetta recall campaigns covering each model year
2001: 3 campaigns

  1. NHTSA campaign 03V345000

    Reported

    Seats

    Model year 2001

    On certain model passenger vehicles, as a result of improper welding of the seat rail assemblies, one side of the seat may not fully lock into the set position. Under extreme acceleration or deacceleration conditions, this could cause a rocking motion of the seat.

    Consequence:
    If the seat started a rocking motion while the customer was driving, it could pose a safety risk to the driver as well as other vehicles and could result in damage to the vehicle or property, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the entire seat rail assemblies on both seats. Owner notification is expected to begin during October 2003. Owners should contact Ferrari at 1-201-816-2651.

  2. NHTSA campaign 03V175000

    Reported

    Power Train › Automatic Transmission › Cooling Unit and Lines

    Model year 2001

    On certain passenger vehicles, the transmission oil lines to the oil cooler may not have been manufactured properly. The lines could become disconnected from the metal fitting and leak oil. If the lines leak oil, insufficient lubrication to the transmission could result. If this condition was to exist, the vehicle's transmission could become inoperative.

    Consequence:
    If the transmission became inoperative while the customer was driving, it could pose a potential safety risk to the driver as well as other vehicles and potentially result in damage to the vehicle or property, and a crash without warning.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the two existing transmission oil lines to the cooler with new lines which have a properly crimped metal fitting connector. Owner notification began on June 4, 2003. 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.

  3. NHTSA campaign 01V211000

    Reported

    Parking Brake

    Model year 2001

    Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The hand brake ratchet mechanism did not receive the proper hardness treatment of the ratchet teeth. As a result, the ratchet teeth could become damaged.

    Consequence:
    If the ratchet mechanism teeth become damaged, failure of the hand brake to operate as expected would result. If the problem existed and the vehicle's use was continued, it would be possible that the hand brake would not function and could result in damage to the vehicle or property.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will inspect the production code of the ratchet mechanism and, if necessary, replace the hand brake ratchet mechanism. Owner notification began July 20, 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 1-201-816-2600.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

FieldWhat it tells you
Campaign numberNHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
ComponentThe system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
SummaryWhat the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.

  • Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
  • A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
  • Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
