2 known faults

Roma 3.9 V8 620 ch double embrayage 8 rapports

  1. Recall: brake fluid reservoir cap

    Manufacturer recall

    Ferrari recalled the 2021-2022 Romas (serial numbers 257415 to 282526): the brake fluid reservoir cap may not vent properly, which can create a vacuum and cause a fluid leak, with partial or total loss of braking (NHTSA, recall 22V-536). The dealer replaces the cap, and on some cars updates the software of the brake fluid level warning, free of charge. CarsCounsel advises checking that this recall has been carried out on 2020-2022 cars.

    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. Electrical and infotainment faults

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    PistonHeads notes a significant number of electrical problems on the first cars, most often linked to the condition of the battery, as well as a central screen that sometimes fails to respond or breaks down, a temperamental voice button, and headlights and door locking that operate unexpectedly. CarsCounsel similarly reports slow infotainment, screens that freeze and an intermittent Bluetooth connection, generally fixed by a software update. More of a usability nuisance than a safety risk.
