ANNOUNCEMENT
SAFETY RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2008 - 2011 FERRARI 458 ITALIA, 458 SPIDER, CALIFORNIA AND FF VEHICLES IN THE UAE
In coordination with the Ministry of Economy - Consumer Protection Department and in line with the commitment of the Ministry of Economy to conduct an ongoing review of all products in the UAE to provide the consumer with the required protection, Al Tayer Motors, the local importer - dealer of Ferrari vehicles, and Premier Motors the official dealer of Ferrari vehicles in Abu Dhabi, announce a safety recall campaign for certain 2008 - 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia, 458 Spider, California, and FF vehicles, manufactured in Italy, for replacing the passenger side airbag module.
Ferrari S.p.A. has decided to implement this campaign, due to a non-conformity in the manufacturing process of the passenger side airbag module. The module may have been manufactured using propellant which may deteriorate over time, which may cause the airbag to fail to deploy correctly as required by applicable safety standards.
In the event of a collision necessitating deployment of the airbag, this nonconformity may result in the failure of the inflation device and incorrect deployment of the passenger side airbag, increasing the risk of injury.
A total of 223 vehicles are estimated to be affected in the UAE.
Al Tayer Motors and Premier Motors will contact the affected customers to inform them about this recall and to replace the passenger side airbag module. The service will be free of charge to customers and every effort will be made to minimise any inconvenience caused during the short time required for the work to be carried out.
For customer enquiries, please call Customer Care Centre on 800 4670 from 8.00 am to 3.00 pm, Saturday to Thursday.
Ministry of Economy Hotline No: 600 522 225
