Ferrari recalls 2010-2014 F458 Italia and F458 Spider

Ferrari North America 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."

Ferrari's number for this recall is: 54
NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V487000
Component: runk storage compartment latch
Potential Number of Units Affected: 3,082

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 is expected to begin at the end of September 2014. Owners may contact Ferrari customer service at 1-866-551-2828.

Customers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to Safercar.
