Ferrari recalls sports cars for airbag defect

Source: USA Today

Nathan Bomey,

Even ultra-luxury cars aren't immune from airbag defects.

Ferrari, a division of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, is recalling 814 cars after discovering an assembly problem in airbags manufactured by Japan-based Takata Corp.

The defect is not connected to Takata's exploding airbag crisis, which has spawned the largest recall in U.S. history.

The recall comes as Fiat Chrysler is facing potential penalties due to what U.S. regulators have described as the automaker's "repeated" failures to fix vehicles quickly and successfully. It also comes as Fiat Chrysler is close to filing for an initial public offering for Ferrari.
