Ferrari Is Recalling Nearly Every Car It's Sold Since 2005

Ferraris are mostly known for one thing: going fast. Perhaps they should be better known for their brakes, then. Anyone—in any car, almost—can go fast; it's stopping that matters. Now, Ferrari has a big stopping problem, with 19 of its models dating all the way back to 2005 reportedly at risk for potential brake failure, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Remember the Ferrari 430? How about the 612 Scaglietti? We hardly do, but they're the oldest vehicles implicated in Ferrari's recall, dating back to 2005. Here's a full list of cars under the recall:

According to the NHTSA filing, the issue relates to the brake fluid reservoir cap which "may not vent properly, creating a vacuum inside the brake fluid reservoir, and resulting in a brake fluid leak that may lead to a partial or total loss of brake function."

You may be thinking: Ferrari probably doesn't make a ton of cars, how bad could a recall be? Well, according to the NHTSA recall report, a whopping 23,555 Ferraris are implicated and will need to be serviced, which is nearly, well, all of them. Considering the average price of a Ferrari is at least a couple hundred thousand dollars, some quick math proves billions of dollars worth of Ferraris are potentially defective.
