The 2014 Ferrari 458 has two recalls, the more serious being a defective passenger-side airbag inflator that can rupture during deployment and send fragments into the cabin.
This is part of the broader Takata airbag issue, where prolonged exposure to heat and humidity degrades the inflator propellant over time. The second recall involves the front trunk compartment's secondary latch, which can fail to release when the vehicle is stopped. If someone becomes trapped inside and the latch does not open, the risk of serious injury or death rises significantly.
