Ferrari 488 Pista Lemon Law

A fire risk is one of the most serious safety defects recognized under the Song-Beverly Act. If your 488 Pista has a defect that could cause a fire, it may qualify as a lemon after as few as two repair attempts. You should immediately document the issue and consult a lemon law attorney.

If the carbon ceramic brake rotors failed well before their expected lifespan and the vehicle was used within normal parameters, this likely constitutes a warranty defect. Under the Song-Beverly Act, Ferrari is required to repair or replace defective components. If the issue recurs, it may contribute to a lemon law claim.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer must prove that your modifications directly caused the defect in question. If the defect is unrelated to your modifications, Ferrari cannot use them as a blanket excuse to deny your claim. An attorney can help establish that the defect is a manufacturing issue rather than modification-related.

You should gather all repair orders, service invoices, warranty claim records, and written communications with the dealer and Ferrari. Photographs and videos of the defect are also valuable. Under the Song-Beverly Act, a clear paper trail showing repeated repair attempts for the same issue is the strongest evidence for your claim.
