Ferrari Laferrari Recall 15V306: Wrong tire warning could lead drivers to keep driving on a flat

NHTSA campaign 15V306, reported May 26, 2015, 85 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2014-2015 Ferrari LaFerrari vehicles may display an incorrect warning when a tire is punctured. Instead of the correct message "Low Tyre Pressure-Do not proceed," the display shows "Low Tyre Pressure-Max speed 50 mph." This wrong message can lead the driver to keep driving on a punctured tire, which could cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.

The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 15, 2014, and March 4, 2015, and the recall does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 for tire pressure monitoring systems. Ferrari North America will notify owners, and dealers will update the tire pressure monitoring system software to show the correct message. The repair is free of charge. The recall began July 17, 2015.

If you own a LaFerrari, contact Ferrari North America customer service at 1-866-551-2828, and check your VIN for open recalls. If your tire warning appears, do not proceed; stop safely and address the tire.
