Ferrari confirms 458 Italia recall

Updated



Ferrari has confirmed that it is recalling all of its 458 Italia cars following a string of high-profile fires around the world.

More than 1,200 examples of the supercar will be modified after an investigation by the manufacturer revealed that adhesive used in the cars construction is liable to overheating, and in extreme cases it can catch fire.

Ferrari will replace the use of the adhesive in the wheel-arch assemblies and heatshield with rivets. Owners of the 458s destroyed by fire will each receive a new model.
