 Official Ferrari 458 Recall Information  Ferrari has determined the cause of the 458's that have caught on fire was from an adhesive that attached the heat shield under the rear fenders. The heat shields were attached with an adhesive and became flammable under high temps. The new shield will be attached rivets, not any type of adhesive. Every 458 produced will get this new part so call your dealer now and set up your appointment which of course is free of charge. Ferrari is not taking any chances and will replace this part on every 458 italia produced to date. Kudos to Ferrari for discovering this issue as this couldn't have been any easy find. Look for an official announcement from Ferrari within the next hour. *Update - official images of the parts for the recall* -> http://www.teamspeed.com/forums/458-...tml#post703871

| Still waiting to hear what they are going to do about the ones that have already burnt. Also if they are going to make them wait the two years again. |
