The 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale A has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the passenger-side front airbag inflator, which can rupture and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
The brake system also carries a significant risk: hydraulic fluid can leak from the braking circuit, reducing or eliminating stopping power and raising the risk of a crash. Separately from the inflator issue, a faulty airbag control module can cause the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to fail to deploy, or to deploy incorrectly, in a crash, leaving occupants without the protection these systems are meant to provide.
