Ferrari issues recall???

I saw this on the Top Gear website: http://www.topgear...-458-italia-recall

According to Ferrari, the glue securing the wheel arch lining and heat shield can melt and deform when under high operating temperatures. When this comes into contact with the exhaust, "the glue can smoke and the wheel arch liner can ignite".

Ferrari has notified all 458 owners informing them of the fix - which takes around half a day - and involves securing the wheel arch liner with bolts and screws instead of glue. All future 458 Italias will be built in this way.

The spokesman confirmed "1,248 Ferrari 458 Italias have been recalled worldwide, with approximately 50 in the UK".

The five "acknowledged" 458s totally destroyed by fire will be replaced, Ferrari said, "at no cost to the client".

As I recall, we have debated the quality of Ferrari in here in before; but I would not have expected them to glue such a part in there.

	What's sad is that the repaired and recalled cars will likely not be as rigid. That chassis adhesive is some strong shit. You would think that they'd just use an adhesive that didn't spontaneously combust when it hit 125 degrees fahrenheit.
