Ferrari has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2005 through 2007 F40 Spider. They stated the defect involves the hydraulic hoses for the convertible top that are locaterd inside of the engine compartment. The heat from the engine may cause hair line cracks to form in the hoses which may result in fluid leakage from the convertible top hydraulic system.
This leakage, in turn, will cause the convertible top warning light to illuminate and if not remidied, could ultimately leak fluid into the engine compartment causing smoke and a fire, rendering the vehicle inoperable andpossibly resulting in a crash.
Dealers will install protective heat shields over the convertible top hydraulic lines to insulate them from the heat of the engine compartment. This service will be preformed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during Febuary 2009. Owners may contact Ferrari at 201-816-2600.
