Sportscar fires force Ferrari recall
 

:eek:
Italian luxury carmaker Ferrari has announced a recall of all versions of its model 458 Italia sportscar produced before July 2010 after four vehicles caught fire.

"Our dealers are going to call clients and tell them to bring back their cars so that the necessary modifications can be carried out," a spokesman said.

The recall involved 1248 vehicles worldwide.

Ferrari last week began an inquiry after four of its vehicles caught fire spontaneously in the United States, China, France and Switzerland.

The investigation had shown problems with the mounting, adhesive, heat shields and wheel arch assembly, the spokesman said.

"High outside temperatures and intensive use of the vehicle cause a distortion and the vehicle catches fire," he said.
The modification would include replacing the heat shields.
