Plain-English summary
Ferrari North America Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where heat generated by the engine could cause deformation of the rear right-hand and left-hand wheelhouse and heat shield assemblies.
This deformation could cause the assemblies to come excessively close to the exhaust system. Under particularly high ambient operating temperatures, this proximity could cause the bonding adhesive used in the assembly to overheat, produce smoke, or ignite. An ignition could result in a vehicle fire, render the vehicle inoperable, and possibly result in a crash.
Dealers will remove the existing heat shields and bonding adhesive from the rear wheelhouses and install new protective heat shields at no charge to the owner. The safety recall began on September 2, 2010. Owners may contact Ferrari at 201-816-2600 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
