"In rare instances the heat shield could become deformed, bringing it too close to the exhaust system and igniting," a Ferrari spokesperson said.

 

Ferrari is recalling all its 458 Italia vehicles after five fires were reported in California, Switzerland, China and France.

 

Italians...:rolleyes:

The recall is because some of the cars caught on fire....

 

Nothing says Bureaucracy like the NHTSA's response:

NHTSA warned that if the adhesive ignites it could "render the vehicle inoperable and possibly result in a crash."

 

"possibly" Whew.. I was worried there. Good to know that when my car is a massive ball of flame that a crash isn't likely.

 

Or were they saying that when the fire renders the car inoperable, there's a possibility it'll take off and cause a crash? Oh dear..
