Ferrari is recalling certain model year 2014-2014 LaFerrari models due to two issues that make the vehicles non-compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
The defect: affected vehicles have L32 seats as standard equipment for the passenger seat and as optional equipment for the driver seat. In a crash, the headrests of these seats may not absorb the required amount of energy, and thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 202a, “Head Restraints.”
The hazards: headrests that do not absorb the required amount of energy can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Affected vehicles: certain model year 2014-2015 LaFerrari vehicles manufactured May 15, 2014, to March 4, 2015.
Number of vehicles affected: 85.
The fix: Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will replace the headrests, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2015.
The defect: in the event of a tire puncture, the affected vehicles will display the incorrect warning message of “Low Tyre Pressure-Max speed 50 mph” instead of the correct message “Low Tyre Pressure-Do not proceed.” As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.”
The hazards: the incorrect message may cause the driver to continue driving on a punctured tire, causing a loss of vehicle control, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Affected vehicles: certain model year 2014-2015 LaFerrari vehicles manufactured May 15, 2014, to March 4, 2015.
Number of vehicles affected: 85.
The fix: Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will update the tire pressure monitoring system software to give the correct reading, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2015.
Owners should: customers looking to find out if their vehicle is included in either one of these Ferrari recalls should call Ferrari, or take their vehicle to a Ferrari dealership.
