The BBC reported tonight that the Italian car maker Ferrari is going to recall ALL 458 Italias. Problem? they have a tendency to catch fire.
Looks like all those Lotto winners will have to switch to something else...at least short term.

For those who haven't seen elsewhere, apparently Ferrari used an adhesive to attach heat shielding... said adhesive turned out to be flammable when exposed to heat, much like the heat found in engine bays. The recall will involve new heat shields riveted into place. Maybe they'll use magnesium rivets for equally spectacular results?
hmmm.. you would think the hotweather testing would have exposed that issue earlier?
Well that's a bit of a problem for Ferrari.
James May doesn't look so silly driving his 430 now, does he?
The pure white hell of a magnesium fire, hotlinked for effect
