What's wrong?
The passenger seat in the covered 2021-2023 Ferrari SF90 Stradale and SF90 Spider vehicles is the size M seat. Its normal job is to hold an occupant or, when used that way, support a child seat on the passenger side. The air bag system is supposed to protect the passenger area during a crash without striking the child seat in a way that adds injury risk.
On affected vehicles, the size M passenger seat does not meet the occupant crash protection requirement when a child seat is installed. In a crash, the passenger air bag deployment can impact the child seat. Ferrari identified the fix as upgrading the affected passenger seat from size M to XL size, which changes the seat setup involved in the air bag interaction.
There is no warning sign before failure. The concern appears only during a crash with a child seat installed on the affected passenger seat.

What's the safety risk?
A child seat in the vehicle can be struck by the air bag, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant. If your VIN is included, do not use a child seat in the vehicle until the passenger seat is replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Ferrari dealer.

- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2023 Ferrari SF90 Stradale or SF90 Spider is included in this recall.

- Avoid installing or using a child seat in the vehicle until the repair is complete.
