Default That's What I'd Call a Recall.

Ferrari Recalls Nearly Every Car It's Made Since 2005 For Possible Brake Failure.

Ouch!

Damn... I wonder what the failure rate actually was.
A leaky cap doesn't sound so damning unless it causes an accident.

But, this is an unresolved issue since '05?!

Figuring 8400 per year, that's only 142,800 cars....

That's literally a one-minute fix for a low skilled mechanic, and gets a lot of guys into the dealership, waiting for an hour or more, looking at new inventory....

Not if you're @Raazor - it took him a month to replace the gas cap on his daughter's Lexus.

I never did report this.

My Lexus wrenching failed. Lights came back on, took it Toyota, got an OEM gas cap installed.
