2. 2Verify the era's 488 recalls against the VIN (fuel vapor separator NHTSA 19V-090; brake and airbag campaigns), and confirm the major-service history is current.
3. 3Confirm the brake-fluid reservoir-cap recall is closed (NHTSA 22V-536 / Ferrari RC80, MY2019-2020 Pista and Pista Spider). The cap may not vent, drawing a vacuum that can leak brake fluid and cause partial or total loss of braking; the fix replaces the cap and updates the software.
4. 4As with the other road 488s, the soft-touch rubberized switchgear and console trim degrade into a tacky, sticky finish over time; refinishing the affected parts is the only durable fix.
