Ferrari recalls 840 cars in Australia with brake fault
The fault could cause the brakes to deteriorate, according to the manufacturer.
Ferrari has recalled 840 cars in Australia across seven model names, citing a potential fault with the braking system.

The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "The brake fluid reservoir cap may provide insufficient ventilation to the brake fluid reservoir.
