- If the seat started a rocking motion while the customer was driving, it could pose a safety risk to the driver as well as other vehicles and could result in damage to the vehicle or property, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the entire seat rail assemblies on both seats. Owner notification is expected to begin during october 2003. Owners should contact ferrari at 1‑201‑816‑2651.
