Defect
Ferrari is recalling certain model year 2010 458 italia vehicles. The heat created by the engine could cause possible deformation of the rear right hand and left hand wheelhouse and heat shield assemblies. The assembly could come excessively close to the exhaust system causing the bonding adhesive used in the assembly to overheat and produce smoke.
Safety risk
Under particularly high ambient operating temperature this could cause the adhesive to ignite, resulting in a vehicle fire and/or rendering the vehicle inoperable and possibly resulting in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the existing heat shields and bonding adhesive from the right hand and left hand rear wheelhouses, and install new protective heat shields on the right hand and left hand rear wheelhouses. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on september 2, 2010. Owners may contact ferrari at 201-816-2600.
