Recent recalls (1 campaign across the latest model years)

  • March 2026, Visibility:Glass, Side/Rear. Ferrari North America, Inc. (Ferrari) is recalling certain 2025-2026 12Cilindri vehicles. The rear and side windows have less than 70% light transmittance which can obscure the driver's visibility. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle… Consequence: Windows with insufficient light transmittance can impair the driver’s visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
