    Seats

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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.

    Power Train / Automatic Transmission / Cooling Unit and Lines

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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.

    Parking Brake

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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.
