Ferrari North America has issued a recall for all 2023 to 2025 Purosangue vehicles due to a design flaw that may result in reduced braking capability. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the defect affects 541 vehicles and poses a significant safety risk if not addressed.

The issue stems from the layout of the fuse box’s power supply in relation to the passenger-side footrest. If these components come into contact, they can cause a short circuit that triggers the brake warning light and a dashboard message advising the driver to proceed slowly to a dealer. In such cases, the vehicle’s braking performance may degrade. While no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have been reported, Ferrari concluded the issue could increase the risk of an accident if drivers ignore the warning indicators.
To remedy the problem, Ferrari will install a plastic spacer between the fuse box and the footrest to prevent contact. The defect was first identified in a 2025 Purosangue in China, prompting the company’s investigation. Production of affected vehicles occurred between July 25, 2022, and February 18, 2025. The issue was resolved in production as of February 2025 through a revised manufacturing process.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Owners of affected vehicles will receive notification letters by September 21, 2025, instructing them to visit an authorized Ferrari dealer for a free repair. In addition, Ferrari has a reimbursement program in place for any customers who already paid for repairs related to this defect. Documentation such as receipts and vehicle identification will be required to submit a claim.
Ferrari is advising owners not to drive their vehicles until the issue has been corrected. Anyone with questions is encouraged to contact Ferrari North America at (201) 816-2651.
