WHAT

These vehicles are equipped with air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

WHY IT MATTERS

An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

WHAT TO DO

Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assembly, free of charge.
