5 recalls across 4 model years
The Ferrari 488 Spider has 5 recalls covering 2016 through 2019 model years, with the most serious being a brake fluid leak on 2016-2019 vehicles where the hydraulic brake system can lose fluid and reduce or eliminate braking ability, raising the risk of a crash.
The 2016-2018 model years are also subject to a Takata-related passenger airbag inflator recall where the inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death to occupants. Separately, 2018 models have a recall covering the airbag control module, which can malfunction and cause airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to either fail to deploy or deploy incorrectly in a crash. On 2018-2019 models, the fuel vapor separator can crack and allow fuel to leak, creating a fire risk near any ignition source. On 2016 models only, a software error prevents the instrument cluster from warning the driver when brake discs are critically worn, which can allow disc damage to progress to the point where braking performance is compromised.
