I HAVE A 2012 FERRARI 458 ITALIA AND THE "FLAPPER" ON THE FUEL FILLER DOES NOT CLOSE. I'VE NOTICED ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS THAT AFTER FILLING AND "SPIRITED" DRIVING (CORNING AT LEGAL SPEEDS) I WILL HAVE FUEL ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS INDICATES THAT THE FUEL CAN "SLOSH" OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. I'VE GOT A CONCERN THAT THIS COULD IGNITE CAUSING A FIRE. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO MANIPULATE THE FLAPPER TO GET IT TO CLOSE, BUT IT STICKS OPEN AGAIN AFTER THE NEXT FUEL UP. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE ABNORMAL CONDITION. THE FLAPPER IS STUCK OPEN IN THE ABNORMAL CONDITION AND IS THE SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THE FLAPPER SHOULD ALWAYS RETURN TO CLOSED WHEN FUEL FILLER NECK IS REMOVED FROM THE AUTO…

NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opens these when complaints point to a possible safety defect. Many end in a recall.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 20
NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received two complaints and verified a third allegation in a public forum alleging fuel loss from the subject vehicle originating from the fuel fill location while in motion. The Model Year (MY) 2010 ? 2015 Ferrari 458 (subject vehicle) has two built-in systems that are designed to prevent fuel loss: the capless fuel filler and the anti-spit back valve.

Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation public data (complaints, manufacturer communications, investigations), model years 2010 and later. Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA.
In complaints filed with NHTSA for model years 2010–2015, owners most often name: air bags, fuel system, gasoline, fuel/propulsion system. 6 complaints are on record.
No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
