Ferrari 458 Italia Recalls

The Ferrari 458 Italia has 5 recalls covering the full 2010–2015 production run, with the most serious being a brake fluid leak on all 2010–2015 models where the hydraulic brake system can lose fluid and significantly reduce or eliminate braking ability, raising the risk of a crash.

The remaining four recalls all involve the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator and are part of the broader Takata airbag defect. On 2010–2011 models, the inflator can rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death to occupants. These early cars were subject to multiple rounds of attention because replacement inflators installed as an interim fix also used a propellant that can degrade over time and fail in the same way, meaning prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the risk for some 2010–2011 vehicles. On 2014–2015 models, a separate but related inflator defect carries the same consequence: an explosion that can scatter sharp metal fragments toward the driver and passengers.
