Ferraris recalled

Ferrari Australasia has issued a safety recall notice affecting its entire model range, including the 458 Italia, 458 Spider, 458 Speciale, 458 Speciale A, California T, FF and F12 Berlinetta.

In all, 58 Australian-delivered Ferraris built in 2015 are involved in the recall, which stems from a potentially faulty driver's airbag supplied by Takata – the same Japanese company at the centre of the largest automotive recall in history.

However, the Ferrari recall is unrelated to Takata's airbag inflator disaster, which involved the potential for airbag components to injure or kill vehicle occupants and affected 53 million vehicles and more than a dozen car-makers around the world.

In this case Ferrari says the non-conforming airbags, which were fitted to 2600 Ferraris globally this year, may not deploy correctly, leading to "increased risk of injury to the driver during a collision".

"Due to a possible non-conformity in the production process of the driver side airbag module, the airbag may deploy abnormally," said the Italian car-maker's local distributor on the ACCC website.

Ferrari Australasia advises affected owners to contact an authorised dealer to have a replacement airbag fitted.
