U.S. drivers sue Ferrari over brake defect, Reuters reports

U.S. drivers have filed a proposed class action filed on Monday in San Diego federal court claiming Ferrari has failed to fix vehicles at risk of a partial or total loss of braking capability, Reuters’ Giulio Piovaccari and Jonathan Stempel report. According to the proposed class action, recalls in 2021 and 2022 to address leaking brake fluid were only an interim measure, allowing Ferrari to keep selling thousands of cars with defective brakes, and that “Ferrari was legally required to disclose the brake defect as a known safety defect and failed to do so.” “We operate according to stringent safety and security guidelines to ensure that our vehicles always respect homologation specifications,” Ferrari said in a statement.
