Four-times world champion Vettel, who is leaving Ferrari at the end of the season after a difficult spell with the Italians, could only finish 12th last weekend at Silverstone.
“Sebastian will have a new chassis, because after the Silverstone post-race analysis, we spotted a small fault caused by a heavy impact over a kerb.
“It would not have had much of an effect on performance, but it was the logical decision to take,” Simone Resta, head of chassis engineering, said in a statement.
The 33-year-old has only scored 10 points from the first five races of the coronavirus-hit season and sits 13th in the standings.
