Symptoms to watch for
- 25V479 recall: the brake warning light illuminating along with reduced braking ability, caused by a short circuit between the fuse box's power supply and the passenger-side footrest - a real, NHTSA/Transport Canada-confirmed recall for 2023-2025 Purosangue.
- Lift system (single forum report): a 2025 Purosangue's ride-height 'lift system' (used to raise front ground clearance over speed bumps and driveways) failing after the car had covered over 6,000 miles - disclosed as one named owner's account on FerrariChat (thread started by user RickLederman, 8 August 2025), not an established pattern.
What To Check
The recall's brake warning light/reduced braking defect would, if triggered, be immediately obvious via the brake warning light and instrument cluster message - but whether the underlying short-circuit condition exists is not something a buyer can check on a test drive alone; VIN-check the recall directly instead. The single lift-system report describes a ride-height feature failing, which - if present - would likely be noticeable when raising the system over a speed bump during a test drive, but this rests on one owner's account, not an established, reliably-reproducible test.
