Overview

2020 Ferrari GTC4Lusso

The 2020 Ferrari GTC4Lusso offers a unique blend of supercar performance and grand tourer practicality, powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 engine. Its all-wheel-drive system and shooting brake body style set it apart. However, potential buyers should be aware of a significant safety recall concerning the brake fluid reservoir cap, which could lead to a loss of braking function. This, coupled with its high-performance nature, suggests a need for diligent pre-purchase inspection and understanding of potential repair costs.

Critical Failure Risk

A defect in the brake fluid reservoir cap's venting mechanism can lead to vacuum formation. This may cause brake fluid leaks and, in severe cases, a partial or total loss of braking function. This issue has led to a significant safety recall.

Early detection can help you avoid a repair of about $0.
