Auto Recall, but not for a car in your driveway.....

Ferrari 458 Italias

Just when you thought auto recalls were limited to you and your $20,000 Honda, Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, or Hyundai. Here is an article reporting that owners of the Ferrari 458, with a sticker price of $230,000, are not immune from the recall bug.

If you are one of the 1,200 owners effected by this recall, get your car serviced right away. Then stop by Auto Care on the 18th.

 Loving God by Loving Others,

Your Auto Care Saturday Guys!

Ferrari has issued a recall for its 458 Italias. The cause?  Some of them are bursting into flames.

Since the sports cars left the factory in Northern Italy, at least six of the cars have caught fire, the Daily Mail reports.

The recall effects all 1,248 owners of the $230,000 luxury auto.

The problem seems to lie with glue.

"The wheel arch assembly and heat shield which incorporates both mechanical fasteners and adhesive may, in the case of particularly high temperatures and as a result of heat produced by the exhaust, cause the deformation of the assembly itself," a Ferrari rep told the Daily Mail.

"Such deformation brings the assembly excessively close to the exhaust causing the adhesive used to overheat and produce smoke or, in the case of particularly high temperatures, ignite."

The much-touted 458 has a 4.5-litre V8 engine which gives it a 0-62mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 202mph.

Owners who will have to bring in their Ferraris for a check-up include musician Eric Clapton and British soccer player Louis Saha, reports the Daily Mail.
Ferrari will reportedly repair the pricey sports cars, free of charge.
