Ferrari 296 GTB Recalls (2025-2025)
The Ferrari 296 GTB has been the subject of 1 recall campaign on record with NHTSA across the 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the engine and engine cooling. At least one is serious enough that NHTSA tells owners to stop driving the vehicle until it is fixed.
The Ferrari 296 GTB scores 2 out of 100 (grade F), one of the heavier recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 0% involve a critical safety system, 1 carried a do-not-drive warning, and 100% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 1 campaigns span 1 model year of the Ferrari 296 GTB. The single largest affected 6 vehicles, over engine and engine cooling. Some carry a do-not-drive warning, the most serious class of recall, which means NHTSA advises against driving the vehicle until the repair is done. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Ferrari 296 GTB may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
