    Again?!

    If it’s true, no one has contacted me yet. It’s the first time I’m hearing this.

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    Am assuming this is the Takata issue? Mine was replace last year. Passenger, I think. Driver side earlier.
    Maybe the passenger this year, drive side bag earlier? Vice versa? or, some other permutation.
    I would have the service folks run your VIN and see if the air bag campaign has been done as part of the Takata recall.

    Just completed by FOA during annual service last month on 2015 Cali T. (passenger airbag) You will need to make sure they have one in stock.and it adds a few days to the service appointment.

    Have a Cali T 2017 VIN concerned.
    Received preventive recall campaign letter from Ferrari Maranello in May 2019
    Need to replace passenger airbag (Takata)
    Causes:
    Inside propulsion gaz can be out of specifications after a certain time (several years) depending of outside high temperature, high level of temperature amplitude variation, high humidity level car's exposing conditions.
    Results:
    In case of passenger airbag activation, gaz cans broke inflating device in airbag device causing an inefficient triggering.

    Ferrari doesn't register any cases concerning this fault up to May 2019.

    The “inefficient triggering “ Has caused serious injuries and deaths in some cases. Even though the odds are it won’t happen to you, it is splashed on your vehicles CARFAX report and doesn’t look good when you decide sell/trade yours.

    Hi...I was contacted by the F dealer in regards to my Cali. You can also check your VIN on the NHTSA website, assuming you are in the US.

    Edit - oops, I see you are in France. I would assume there is a French equivalent of the NHTSA site.

    Bonjour,
    My car is registered on "MyFerrari"
    I have received a letter from Maranello, they don't mention any VIN numbers concerned.
    They just tell you that your VIN is concerned by the recall Passenger Airbag campaign.
    Also give some technical details about the reason for recall.
    You have to contact your dealer to order the new spare part and replace it.
    The dealer has to update Maranello after the replacement.

    some cars that had the recall done previously will need it replaced again, it was a temporary fix and they have come with a final fix for the recall in 2019. absolutely possible that it had another recall airbag as well as possible ECU replacement on some models.
