NHTSA Recall 02V091000
NHTSA Campaign Id 02V091000; Date: Mar. 21, 2002
If the strap fails to provide the proper ground to the chassis, the electrical system will seek a ground at the ignition coil. The vehicle's ignition coil ground cable could overheat and could cause the engine to stop. If the engine stopped while the vehicle was being driven, it could increase the risk of a crash.
Recalled Vehicles:
2001 Ferrari 360 Modena; 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider
Component: Electrical System:battery
Manufactured by: Ferrari North America
Affected Units:: 211
Recall Summary:
On certain passenger vehicles, the engine ground strap was manufactured improperly. As a result of the improper "crimping" of the ground strap connectors to the braided ground strap, the engine ground strap may not provide the proper electrical ground between the engine and the chassis.
How to Fix:
Dealers will inspect the existing engine ground strap and, if necessary, replace the strap with a new one which has the proper connector crimping. Owner notification began April 15, 2002. 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.
