Ferrari Australia recalls some 812 Superfast as their rear window could fly off
By CARSIFU | 22 December 2020SYDNEY: Ferrari 812 Superfast owners in Australia won't be happy to hear this. A total of 140 units of the model have been recalled over a dangerous problem that could result in the rear window flying off from the car when it's driven.
Ferrari Australia issued the recall on 812 Superfast from model years 2017 to 2020. The Italian sports car maker has also reported the issue to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
Ferrari Australia said in the report that flaw was the result of "incorrect bonding of the rear window (that) may lead to decreased adhesion of the rear window to the rear hood"
It said the rear window glass may fully detach from vehicle, become airborne or fall on to the road, increasing the risk of serious injury or death of other road users.
The car maker urged affected 812 Superfast owners to bring in their vehicles for a replacement rear window glass. Free of charge, of course.
