What happened

Ferrari North America is recalling certain 2009-2011 Ferrari California vehicles and 2010-2011 Ferrari 458 Italia vehicles equipped with passenger frontal air bag inflators that may rupture during a crash. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. The problem occurs when the inflators are exposed to humidity and temperature changes over time, which can degrade the propellant.

Ferrari will replace the passenger frontal air bag assembly free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2017. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ferrari customer service at 201-816-2668 to arrange for the replacement. Ferrari's reference number for this recall is 60.
