The 2017 Ferrari California T has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the passenger-side airbag inflator, which can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
The brakes are also subject to a recall: a hydraulic brake system defect can cause a loss of braking function, raising the risk of a crash. On the restraint side, the airbag control module can malfunction and cause airbags or seatbelt pretensioners to fail to deploy or deploy incorrectly in a crash, reducing occupant protection.
