The company believes that only about 1% of the cars are affected, but prudence dictates replacing them all. That's about 23,555 cars in the U.S., starting with the 612 Scagliettis built in early 2004. In fact, the only models that will be exempt will be the 575M Maranello, the 599 GTB, the SF90, and the new 296 hybrid.
Owners should be notified by the end of September by Ferrari about when they should bring their cars in for repair.
