What is wrong
The passenger side seat belt mechanism which is fitted with the child safety seat locking mechanism was fitted on the driver side and the driver's side seat belt mechanism without the locking mechanism fitted on the passenger side.
The risk
The seat belt mechanism (without the locking device) may not lock fast enough and could allow excessive movement of the child safety seat in the event of an accident.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the seat belt mechanisms to determine whether they have been installed on the proper side of the vehicle and, if necessary, dismount and remount the mechanisms on the correct side.

Note:owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ferrari at 1-[removed].also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-[removed].
