According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the heat-shield and rear wheel housing become distorted by engine heat.http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2010/09/06/ferrari-recalls-new-458-italia-after-some-catch-fire/ This brings the shield too close to the exhaust system, which causes a build up of exhaust heat that melts the adhesive on the shield.http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2010/09/06/ferrari-recalls-new-458-italia-after-some-catch-fire/ If the vehicle is running at an extremely high temperature, the glue can ignite into a fire.http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2010/09/06/ferrari-recalls-new-458-italia-after-some-catch-fire/ Ferrari claims that they have fixed the problem by using a different shield design that replaces the adhesive attachment with rivets.http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2010/09/06/ferrari-recalls-new-458-italia-after-some-catch-fire/ Owners of the vehicle in the United States can have it repaired free of charge at an authorized Ferrari service center.http://www.automoblog.net/2010/09/02/supercar-recall-ferrari-458-italia-fire-fix/
