September 2nd, 2010
In the past 4 weeks, there where several media reports of Ferrari 458 Italias catching fire, after a investigation Ferrari has now issued to recall all the 1,248 units.
Ferrari determined the cause of the fires to be related to an adhesive used to attach a heat shield on the inside rear wheel. When the engine reached a high temperature, the adhesive melted and eventually cause fire.
All recalled heat shields will be mounted with mechanical fasteners once the adhesive is removed.
