2 known faults

296 GTB 3.0 V6 hybride rechargeable 830 F1 DCT

  1. Recall: corroded fuel line (risk of leak)

    Manufacturer recall

    Ferrari found corrosion on the fuel line connecting the tank, which is made of aluminium and rests against the high-voltage battery cover (glass and stainless steel). The line can be pierced, causing a fuel leak with a fire risk if an ignition source is present. NHTSA recall 23V-329: 425 vehicles, 296 GTB 2022-2023 and 296 GTS 2023, built from March 2021 to April 2023. Ferrari had recorded no fires or leaks as of the date of the report (8 May 2023).

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  2. Recall: turbo oil filter nut not tightened correctly

    Manufacturer recall

    A semi-automatic tightening station at a supplier may have applied the wrong torque to the oil filter connector nut on the turbo oil supply lines, which can cause an oil leak and a risk of a thermal event. NHTSA recall 25V-716 (21 October 2025): 6 vehicles, 296 GTBs built from 8 to 22 July 2025 and 296 GTSs built from 9 to 24 July 2025.
