6 known faults

GTC4Lusso 6.3 V12 690 ch 4RM boîte à double embrayage 7 rapports

  1. Four-wheel-drive front transfer box (PTU)

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    PistonHeads explains that the 4WD system's PTU, inherited from the FF, has a reputation for failing: a sealing defect makes hydraulic fluid leak, and the fault shows as “4WD Failure” with the Manettino stuck in Wet mode. The GTC4Lusso uses the same setup; failures are less frequent than before but still occur. A specialist rebuild is quoted at £7,950 (PistonHeads); Not Just a Car reports dealer quotes of $35,000 to $50,000 to replace the unit. It does not concern the GTC4Lusso T's V8, which is rear-wheel drive.

  2. Recall: brake fluid reservoir cap

    Manufacturer recall

    Ferrari recalled the 2017–2020 GTC4 Lusso and the 2018–2020 GTC4 Lusso T: the brake fluid reservoir cap may vent poorly, creating a vacuum and a fluid leak, with loss of braking (NHTSA, recall 22V536). The dealer replaces the cap and updates the software to add a fluid-level warning, free of charge.

    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).

  3. Recall: doors that cannot be opened from outside

    Manufacturer recall

    Ferrari recalled the 2017–2019 GTC4Lusso and the 2018–2019 GTC4Lusso T: tension in the locking mechanism can prevent the door from opening with the outside handle, hindering access for occupants in an emergency (NHTSA 19V089; Transport Canada 2019093). The dealer fits new locks and cables, free of charge. PistonHeads also reports broken cables that have stopped doors from opening.

    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).

  4. Recall: cracked fuel vapour separator

    Manufacturer recall

    Ferrari recalled certain 2018–2019 GTC4Lusso and GTC4Lusso T cars: the fuel vapour separator can crack and leak petrol, with a risk of fire (NHTSA, recall 19V090). The dealer replaces the part free of charge. PistonHeads mentions this recall for cars built between October 2017 and October 2018.

    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).

  5. Recall: passenger airbag gas generator

    Manufacturer recall

    Ferrari recalled the 2017–2018 GTC4Lusso and the 2018 GTC4Lusso T: the front passenger airbag gas generator can explode because the propellant degrades after long exposure to humidity and temperature changes, throwing out metal fragments (NHTSA, recall 19V006). The dealer replaces the airbag module free of charge.

  6. Battery, infotainment and electronics

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    PistonHeads reports infotainment bugs that can freeze the screen, faults in the seat-heating display, mirrors and lights, and passenger windows that lower after locking; batteries have also failed on cars used every day. Exotic Car Hacks likewise cites unexpected battery failures and an infotainment system that locks up (USB, heated seat controls), to be fixed by an update or a reset.
