What is wrong
Ferrari is recalling certain model year 1995 through 1999 ferrari 355 and 355 f1 vehicles. Independent automobile repair facilities may have improperly installed certain screw clamps that are located in close proximity to the fuel lines and that fasten the water sleeve to the thermostat connection. The improper installation of these screw clamps may damage the fuel supply pipes.
Risk
Fluid could leak into the engine compartment, causing smoke and, in some circumstances, a fire, rendering the vehicle inoperable and possibly resulting in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new fuel divider block, which will serve to provide a greater distance between these screw clamps and the fuel lines. This will eliminate the possibility of any damage to the fuel supply pipes which could cause fluid leakage. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall began on december 16, 2009. Owners may contact ferrari at 1‑201‑816‑2600.
