Ferrari 458 Speciale Recalls (2014-2015)
The Ferrari 458 Speciale has been the subject of 2 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2014 to 2015 model years. They cluster mostly around the service brakes and air bags.
The Ferrari 458 Speciale scores 41 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 100% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 0% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 2 campaigns span 2 model years of the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The single largest affected 11,176 vehicles, over air bags. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common 458 Speciale problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Ferrari 458 Speciale may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
