Recalls- Service Brakes, Hydraulic. NHTSA recall 22V536000 affects 23,555 vehicles including 2011 California models. The brake fluid reservoir cap may fail to vent properly causing a vacuum and brake fluid leak. This leak can reduce or cause total loss of brake function, increasing crash risk.

- Air Bags: Frontal. NHTSA recall 20V007000 covers 982 vehicles including 2011 California models with non-desiccated passenger frontal air bag inflators using PSAN propellant. Long-term exposure to humidity and temperature cycles may cause inflators to explode. This can send metal fragments into occupants causing serious injury or death. Dealers will replace the passenger air bag with an alternate inflator free of charge.
- Passenger Side Air Bag Inflator Module. Recall 18V188000 affects 1,870 vehicles including 2011 Californias that have not yet had passenger frontal air bags replaced. Inflators may explode due to propellant degradation after exposure to humidity and temperature changes posing serious injury risk. Dealers will replace passenger frontal air bag assemblies free of charge.
- Passenger Side Air Bag Inflator Module. Recall 16V341000 covers 2,826 vehicles including 2011 Californias with original or replacement passenger air bag inflators. Propellant degradation from humidity and temperature cycling can cause inflator rupture during a crash. Metal fragments may strike occupants causing serious injury or death. Dealers will replace the frontal passenger air bag assemblies free of charge.
Owners with 2011 Ferrari Californias dealing with repeated repairs, unresolved recall repairs, or safety defects should consider their rights under state lemon laws. Consulting a qualified attorney familiar with automotive defect litigation may assist in pursuing necessary remedies.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Ferrari North America, Inc. (Ferrari) is recalling certain 2009-2011 California and 2010-2011 458 Italia vehicles equipped with non-desiccated, passenger frontal air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
