What NHTSA owner complaints mean

These figures count complaints that vehicle owners and other members of the public have submitted to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. NHTSA uses complaints, together with other data, to spot safety issues that may warrant an investigation and to check whether existing recalls go far enough.

  • They are reports, not findings. Each complaint is the submitter's own account. Its presence in the database does not mean NHTSA has confirmed a defect.
  • Counts are not defect rates. The data doesn't say how many vehicles were sold, so a raw count can't tell you what share of vehicles had a problem.
  • Popular models collect more complaints. A model sold in large numbers will usually gather more complaints than a rare one, simply because more people own it.
  • One complaint can name several components. Totals by component can therefore add up to more than the number of complaints.
  • Coverage starts in 1995. NHTSA's complaint file contains complaints received since January 1, 1995.

Use complaint patterns as a prompt for questions: whether a recall covers the issue, whether the vehicle you are considering has had the fix, and what a mechanic finds on inspection. For confirmed safety defects, see the recall list for this model.

  1. NHTSA campaign 18V381000

    Reported

    Air Bags › Frontal › Passenger Side › Inflator Module

    Model year 2012

    Ferrari North America, Inc. (Ferrari) is recalling certain 2012 Ferrari California, 458 Italia, 458 Spider, and FF vehicles that have not already had their passenger frontal air bag replaced. These passenger frontal air bag modules have air bag inflators that may explode in the event of a crash due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

    Consequence:
    An inflator explosion may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
    Remedy:
    Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assembly with one that uses an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began on July 19, 2018. Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-201-816-2668. Ferrari's number for this recall is 61. Note: This recall supersedes recall 17V-018.

  2. NHTSA campaign 18V040000

    Reported

    Air Bags › Frontal › Passenger Side › Inflator Module

    Model year 2013

    On January 9, 2018 Ferrari North America, Inc. (Ferrari) recalled 1,073 model year 2013 California, 458 Italia, 458 Spider, FF, and F12 Berlinetta vehicles sold, or ever registered in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On May 18, 2018, Ferrari expanded the recall to include an additional 826 model year 2013 California, 458 Italia, 458 Spider, FF, and F12 Berlinetta vehicles located throughout the rest of the United States. These vehicles are equipped with certain 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 deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

    Consequence:
    An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
    Remedy:
    Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assembly, free of charge. The recall began March 1, 2018 for the original population. The recall will begin in June 2018 for the expanded population. Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-866-551-2828. Ferrari's number for this recall is 63.

  3. NHTSA campaign 15V433000

    Reported

    Air Bags › Frontal

    Model year 2015

    Ferrari North America, Inc. (FNA) is recalling certain model year 2015 Ferrari 458 Italia, 458 Spider, 458 Speciale, 458 Speciale A, California T, FF, F12 Berlinetta, and LaFerrari vehicles manufactured December 19, 2014, to April 29, 2015. The affected vehicles may be equipped with a driver side air bag module that was improperly assembled. This can cause the air bag to deploy in a rotated orientation.

    Consequence:
    In the event of a crash, the deployment of the driver's air bag in a rotated orientation increases the risk of injury.
    Remedy:
    FNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front Driver's Side Air Bag Module, free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2015. Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-866-551-2828. Ferrari's number for this recall is 57.

  4. NHTSA campaign 14V487000

    Reported

    Latches/Locks/Linkages › Trunk Lid › Lock

    Model years 2010–2014

    Ferrari North America, Inc. (Ferrari) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 F458 Italia and F458 Spider vehicles manufactured March 5, 2010, to May 20, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the secondary latch for the front trunk storage compartment may not release when the vehicle is stationary. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 401, "Interior Trunk Release."

    Consequence:
    In the event an individual is trapped in the trunk and the latch system does not release the trunk lid, it increases the risk of personal injury or possibly death.
    Remedy:
    Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will modify the existing front trunk latch system with a new component that will meet requirements, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-866-551-2828. Ferrari's number for this recall is 54.

  5. NHTSA campaign 12V211000

    Reported

    Engine and Engine Cooling

    Model years 2011–2012

    Ferrari is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 458 italia and 2012 California vehicles because the crankshaft may fail due to incorrect machining.

    Consequence:
    If this failure occurs, the engine may seize, suddenly rendering the vehicle inoperable, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy:
    Ferrari will notify owners, and dealers will offer vehicle owners the option of having their engine repaired or replaced, free of charge. The safety recall began on June 18, 2012. Owners may contact Ferrari at 201-816-2600.

  6. NHTSA campaign 10V389000

    Reported

    Engine and Engine Cooling

    Model year 2010

    Ferrari is recalling certain model year 2010 458 italia vehicles. The heat created by the engine could cause possible deformation of the rear right hand and left hand wheelhouse and heat shield assemblies. The assembly could come excessively close to the exhaust system causing the bonding adhesive used in the assembly to overheat and produce smoke.

    Consequence:
    Under particularly high ambient operating temperature this could cause the adhesive to ignite, resulting in a vehicle fire and/or rendering the vehicle inoperable and possibly resulting in a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will remove the existing heat shields and bonding adhesive from the right hand and left hand rear wheelhouses, and install new protective heat shields on the right hand and left hand rear wheelhouses. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on September 2, 2010. Owners may contact Ferrari at 201-816-2600.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.
