The 2006 Ferrari F430 has two recalls, the more serious being hydraulic hoses for the convertible top that can crack from engine heat, leak fluid into the engine compartment, and cause a fire.
The second recall affects coupe and spider models with the six-speed manual transmission: a fitting in the clutch pump can develop a hairline crack under normal operating heat, leaking hydraulic fluid from the braking and clutch system. Left unaddressed, this can reduce clutch pedal response and brake system function.
