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 safety-critical component (air bag) with a defect that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' 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 2015 Ferrari 458 Italia, 458 Spider, 458 Speciale, 458 Speciale A, California T, FF, F12 Berlinetta, and LaFerrari vehicles. The recall covers 814 vehicles manufactured between December 19, 2014, and April 29, 2015.

The affected vehicles may be equipped with a driver side air bag module that was improperly assembled. This defect can cause the air bag to deploy in a rotated orientation. In the event of a crash, this rotated deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.

Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front Driver's Side Air Bag Module free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2015. Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-866-551-2828 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
