How to read a Ferrari 360 Modena VIN — every digit explained
Every Ferrari 360 Modena carries a unique 17-character VIN stamped at the factory. Each position is a code — together they spell out where, when and how your car was built. Here's exactly what every digit means.
- WMI (1–3) — country & manufacturer. Tells you it's a Ferrari and the country it was built in.
- VDS (4–8) — model, body style, engine, trim & restraints. The 8th digit is the engine code.
- Check digit (9) — a math check that proves the VIN is genuine.
- Model year (10) — the year it was built (e.g. R = 2024, S = 2025).
- Plant (11) — which factory assembled this 360 Modena.
- Serial (12–17) — the unique sequential production number.
Model-year code (10th digit)
The 10th character is the model year. It cycles through letters and numbers, skipping I, O, Q, U, Z and 0 to avoid confusion:
Where to find your 360 Modena VIN
- Dashboard — driver's side, visible through the windshield from outside.
- Driver's door jamb — on the manufacturer sticker when you open the door.
- Paperwork — vehicle registration, title and insurance card.
- Engine bay & frame — stamped on the firewall or chassis on many models.

The Ferrari 360 Modena has 8 recorded NHTSA recalls across 1995–2026. Pick a year below to see its recalls — then verify open recalls against your specific VIN.
2003 Ferrari 360 Modena recalls 1
Steering:hydraulic Power Assist:hose, Piping, And Connections
What's wrong. On certain vehicles, an oil leak in the hydraulic steering delivery pipe from the pump to the steering rack may occur which could lead to a gradual reduction of the assisted steering function.
Risk. Such circumstances could lead to loss of vehicle control and could result in a crash.
Fix. Dealers will replace the steering delivery hoses from the pump to the steering rack. Owner notification began on june 30, 2004. Owners should contact ferrari on 201-816-2651.
2001 Ferrari 360 Modena recalls 1
Electrical System:12v/24v/48v Battery
What's wrong. On certain passenger vehicles, the engine ground strap was manufactured improperly. As a result of the improper "crimping" of the ground strap connectors to the braided ground strap, the engine ground strap may not provide the proper electrical ground between the engine and the chassis.
Risk. If the strap fails to provide the proper ground to the chassis, the electrical system will seek a ground at the ignition coil. The vehicle's ignition coil ground cable could overheat and could cause the engine to stop. If the engine stopped while the vehicle was being driven, it could increase the risk of a crash.
Fix. Dealers will inspect the existing engine ground strap and, if necessary, replace the strap with a new one which has the proper connector crimping. Owner notification began april 15, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ferrari at 1-201-816-2651.
2000 Ferrari 360 Modena recalls 1
Power Train:clutch Assembly
What's wrong. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The starter ring gear, which is attached to the clutch assembly with three mounting screws, could become separated from the clutch assembly. This possible failure could be caused by (1) the fracture of the starter ring gear itself at the mounting holes due to an incorrect positioning of the mounting holes, or (2) by the failure of the mounting screws. If either of these conditions would occur, the result would be fragments of the starter ring gear being thrown from the clutch area.
Risk. If these fragments came into contact with the vehicle's tire, a puncture could occur resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Fix. Dealers will (1) replace the starter ring gear mounting screws and measuring the starter ring gear mounting holes. The measurement of the starter ring gear will determine if the correct position of the mounting holes exists and if the position is incorrect, the starter ring gear will also be replaced; or (2) replace the starter ring gear with a new ring gear having the correctly positioned mounting holes and the replacement of the mounting screws.
1999 Ferrari 360 Modena recalls 5
Air Bags
What's wrong. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The mounting of the air bag electronic control unit (ecu) may not be suited for long term reliability. If left unchanged, the mounting could become weak and the ability of the air bag ecu to sense a crash would be impaired.
Risk. If a crash should occur, the air bag may not deploy as expected.
Fix. Dealers will install longer screws, which ensure better tightening and securing of the ecu to the body element.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:control Unit/module
What's wrong. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The abs (anti-lock braking system)/asr (traction control system) electronic control unit is affected by an error in production by the supplier.
Risk. The abs feature may not function and could cause the brake failure warning light to illuminate. Also, the electronic brake force distribution feature would not function causing vehicle instability under very hard braking.
Fix. Dealers will replace the abs/asr electronic control unit.
Power Train:clutch Assembly
What's wrong. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The starter ring gear, which is attached to the clutch assembly with three mounting screws, could become separated from the clutch assembly. This possible failure could be caused by (1) the fracture of the starter ring gear itself at the mounting holes due to an incorrect positioning of the mounting holes, or (2) by the failure of the mounting screws. If either of these conditions would occur, the result would be fragments of the starter ring gear being thrown from the clutch area.
Risk. If these fragments came into contact with the vehicle's tire, a puncture could occur resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Fix. Dealers will (1) replace the starter ring gear mounting screws and measuring the starter ring gear mounting holes. The measurement of the starter ring gear will determine if the correct position of the mounting holes exists and if the position is incorrect, the starter ring gear will also be replaced; or (2) replace the starter ring gear with a new ring gear having the correctly positioned mounting holes and the replacement of the mounting screws.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic:foundation Components:hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings
What's wrong. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Brake and clutch fluid reservoir hoses may not be resistant to brake fluid, which could cause failure of the hoses.
Risk. Should a hose failure occur, the brake failure light would light up, followed by loss of vehicle braking efficiency.
Fix. Dealers will inspect the hoses and, if required, install new hoses that are resistant to brake fluid.
Unknown Or Other
What's wrong. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. A software programming error exists in the integrated electronic instrument cluster. This error exists in the brake system warning light monitoring function of the instrument cluster. The red electronic brake distribution warning light does not illuminate.
Risk. As a result, if a brake problem were to exist, the driver would not be aware of it.
Fix. Dealers will remove the instrument cluster from the vehicle and download updated software into the instrument cluster. Owner notification began march 31, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ferrari at 1-201-816-2600.

Electrical System 2 Read
It appears that a battery wiring harness leading to a fuse block overheated and created a fire in the passenger compartment footwell, involving the wire harness itself, the wire harness cover, the fuse block, passenger compartment carpet and nearby components. It is unknown when the fire occurred, though we believe the vehicle was stationary in the garage since we did not experience any smoke while in motion. Ferrari north america has been involved/informed.
Since new, the car violently and suddenly buck and lurched in first gear. Since this is a high performance car it makes it very dangerous and uncontrollable. This is dangerous to the driver, other drivers, and pedestrians. Many time the dealer tried to fix but they claim that the defect is inherent to the earlier models of this car. They claim ferrari is unwilling to fix earlier models because of cost. The battery was replaced because it would not hold a charge. When the consumers son went to move the vehicle, it lurched and he hit a tree which caused minor damage to the bumper. A ferrari rep told the consumer there was a problem with the earlier model vehicle and no amount of resetting the computer would change the problem. *jb
