Ferrari in international recall of California and 458 models

Ferrari has issued an international recall for select California and 458 models, reported to be 206 units from a production batch of 13,000.

According to British magazine AutoExpress, Ferrari confirmed a machine which performs a finishing process on crankshafts was not mis-calibrated, thus causing tolerance specifications to be far out. The consequence is an excessive vibration which can occur, thereby resulting in engine failure.

On the action plan, Ferrari will definitely contact the owners of the affected vehicles to be fixed.

Back in 2010 Ferrari also recalled 1,248 F458 units as a result of at least a dozen models catching fire. The cause was related to an adhesive used to attach a heat shield on the inside rear wheelwell housings which melted and then ignited when exposed to high heat.
