TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH ON A PERFECTLY FLAT AND SAFE HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG ON MY 2012 FERRARI 458 SUDDENLY AND FOR NO VALID REASON EXPLODED AND DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION, THERE WAS NO POTHOLE OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE THAT WOULD HAVE NECESSITATED THIS AIRBAG TO GO OFF. THE RECALL THAT RECENTLY HAPPENED FOR FERRARI'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL SINCE CLEARLY ALL AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR ARE DEFECTIVE AND POSE A LIFE-THREATENING DANGER TO ALL FERRARI 458 OWNERS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *JS *TT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
