The passenger front airbag modules have inflators that may explode
March 29, 2018Ferrari North America is recalling 1,870 model year 2009-2011 Ferrari California, and 2010-2011 Ferrari 458 Italia vehicles that have not had their passenger front airbag replaced in an earlier recall.
The passenger front airbag modules have inflators that may explode in the event of a crash due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
An inflator explosion may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
What to do
Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger front airbag assembly with one that uses an alternate inflator, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin in March 2018.
Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-201-816-2668. Ferrari's number for this recall is 60A.
