Ferrari 458 Still Catching Fire?
By Chris Weiss
About two months ago, Ferrari issued a recall for more than 1,200 458 Italias, citing an adhesive in the wheel arch assemblies that could overheat and cause fires. The recall came after an investigation into why 458s around the world were burning up like dry straw at a firing range. In the months following its debut, 458s had burned up in the U.S., Switzerland, France and China.
Add Brazil to that list. WreckedExotics reports today that a 458 caught fire while driving down a highway in Sao Paulo.
So, did the recall fix not work? The blog doesn’t yet have any information about whether the Brazil 458 had been repaired/issued under the recall, so we’re going to guess that it wasn’t repaired, since the damage appears to be from the exact same issue. However, we’ll stay tuned to know for sure. [via WreckedExotics]
