Ferrari 458 dies

I got excited far too early! 9 Ferrari 458 Italia cars die. When investigated the reported incidents of spontaneous fires in the 458, traced the problem to materials in the wheel arch lining and heat shield. 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".
