Defect: These sports cars can have a software programming error in the integrated electronic instrument cluster.

As a result, if a brake problem were to exist, the driver would not be aware of it.

Remedy: Dealers will remove the instrument cluster from the vehicle and download updated software into the instrument cluster.
