Yet another car recal, all examples ever made need to be fixed, five cars burned!

But don't worry too much unless you own one of the 1248 Ferrari 458 Italia's made so far...!

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".

Hang on, I wonder if that riced out 458 with the D&G interior was the reason the Heathrow cargo warehouse burnt down?! Seems a bit of a coincidence that shortly after that we get a recall...
