  4. 488 GTB, 488 SPIDER · dash warning light may fail to warn driver when brake discs are worn and cause damage to discs

    26 Mar 2018 · R/2018/080

    The software algorithm that calculates the percentage value of wear on the carbo-ceramic brake discs of the vehicle may not function properly due to a software bug which under certain specific conditions may cause a reset of the wear value estimated by the software. The risk is that the critical threshold of wear of the brake discs is reached without the relevant warning lamp and message being shown to the driver. If such a condition occurs the worst case scenario could be damage to the brake discs with increased risk of an accident.

    Fix: Update of software for the instrument panel node.
