Recalls: Ferrari F151 FF
Ferrari F151 FF: driver’s airbag may deploy abnormally
In September 2015, a recall was issued for Ferrari FF vehicles since the driver’s airbag may deploy abnormally due to a possible non-conformity in its production process. If the airbag did not deploy correctly, there was an increased risk of injury to the driver during a collision (PRA 2015/14919).
Ferrari F151 FF: Takata airbag recall
In June 2016, a recall was issued for Ferrari FF vehicles that had serial numbers (i.e. the last six digits of the VIN) in the range 161035 to 186046. The propellant wafers in the front passenger airbag of these vehicles were susceptible to moisture intrusion. In the event of a collision which triggered deployment of the front passenger airbag, the airbag may fail to deploy or the airbag inflator housing may rupture and cause metal fragments to be dispersed throughout the cabin; both outcomes increased the risk of injury to vehicle occupants (PRA 2016/15430).
2013 model year Ferrari FF: Takata airbag recall
In August 2018, a recall was issued for 2013 model year Ferrari FF vehicles. These vehicles had Takata airbags in which the propellant wafers could absorb moisture over time. In the event of a collision which triggered the airbags, excessive internal pressure could cause the metal airbag inflator housing to rupture such that metallic fragments could be projected through the airbag cushion and into the cabin. These fragments posed a serious risk of injury or fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16953.
2014 and 2015 model year Ferrari FF: Takata airbag recall
In October 2018, recall campaign RC60 was issued for 2014 and 2015 model year Ferrari FF vehicles. These vehicles had Takata airbags and, over time, propellant wafers inside the airbag could absorb moisture. In the event of airbag deployment, excessive pressure inside the metal airbag inflator housing could cause it to explode or rupture, such that metal fragments may be projected through the airbag and into the vehicle’s cabin. These metal fragments had the potential to cause serious injury or fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17097.
2016 model year Ferrari FF: Takata airbag recall
In May 2019, recall campaign RC60 was issued for 2016 model year Ferrari FF vehicles. The Takata front airbags in these vehicles contained propellant wafers that could absorb moisture over time. In the event of airbag deployment, excessive internal pressure could cause the airbag inflator housing to rupture, projecting metal fragments through the airbag cushion and into the vehicle’s cabin. These metal fragments had the potential to cause serious injury and fatality. To fix, the airbags were to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17521.
