Flaming Ferraris force recall of 458 Italia

Ferrari, a division of Italy’s Fiat group, is recalling all 1,248 cars of the 458 Italia model it had produced up to August after reports that five of the supercars caught fire because of glue in the wheel arch leaking on to the exhaust, a company spokesman said on Thursday.

At least Corvette owners aren't the only ones that have recalls and other issues. Glue in the wheel arch? Interesting...

Yes, and this just highlights the fact that whether it's a $10K car or $240K car, or anything in between, regardless of manufacturer, hand built, foreign or domestic, there can be serious issues. Or issues that result in serious consequences. Maybe we can put all the self-doubt and pointing fingers at others to rest.
