Ferrari Recalls 2014-2015 LaFerrari Vehicles for Headrest Safety Defect

Ferrari is recalling 85 model year 2014-2015 LaFerrari vehicles because the headrests may not absorb required energy in a crash, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (headrests) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Ferrari North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 LaFerrari vehicles manufactured between May 15, 2014, and March 4, 2015. The recall affects 85 vehicles equipped with L32 seats, which are standard for the passenger seat and optional for the driver seat.

The defect involves the headrests of the L32 seats, which may not absorb the required amount of energy in a crash. This failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 202a, "Head Restraints," can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will replace the headrests free of charge. The recall began on July 17, 2015. Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-866-551-2828 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
