The 2017 Ferrari 488 GTB has 3 recalls, the most serious being a Takata-related passenger airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The hydraulic brake system can develop a fluid leak, which reduces braking force and raises the risk of a collision if the driver cannot slow the car as expected. There is also a concern with the airbag control module, which can malfunction and cause airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to either fail to deploy or deploy incorrectly in a crash, reducing occupant protection when it matters most.
