The 2014 Ferrari 458 Spider has two recalls, both rated at the same severity level: a passenger airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, and a brake system that can leak fluid and cause a significant loss of stopping power.
The airbag defect affects the passenger-side frontal inflator, which can rupture with enough force to scatter sharp metal pieces toward occupants, raising the risk of serious injury or death. On the braking side, a hydraulic fluid leak can reduce or eliminate the vehicle's ability to slow down, increasing the risk of a crash.
