The charcoal canister vapor trap can malfunction and fill with gasoline. This happened once with the prior owner (02/06/2008) and twice with us (10/31/2016). One of these malfunctions was at the dealership after they had replaced the charcoal canister vapor trap, drove the vehicle and it filled with gasoline. They replaced the charcoal canister vapor trap again. This causes total undrivability because of overwhelming raw fuel smell and the fear of fire.

Power train: automatic transmission: cooling unit and lines
- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles, the transmission oil lines to the oil cooler may not have been manufactured properly. The lines could become disconnected from the metal fitting and leak oil. If the lines leak oil, insufficient lubrication to the transmission could result. If this condition was to exist, the vehicle's transmission could become inoperative.
- Risk
- If the transmission became inoperative while the customer was driving, it could pose a potential safety risk to the driver as well as other vehicles and potentially result in damage to the vehicle or property, and a crash without warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the two existing transmission oil lines to the cooler with new lines which have a properly crimped metal fitting connector. Owner notification began on june 4, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ferrari at 1‑201‑816‑2651.
