Ferrari recalls Italia cars after reports of fires


Ferrari has decided to recall all of the 458 Italia cars it made this year, following reports of a number of the luxury cars catching fire.
Ferrari said its engineers had flown around the world to investigate five reports of "thermal incidents".
As a result, it will be asking the owners of more than 1,200 of the supercars to bring them in for modification work.
The 458 Italia typically costs about £170,000 ($260,000).
There were reported incidents in California, Paris, Switzerland, China and one other unnamed location.
Ferrari said the problem had been traced to adhesive used in the wheel-arch assemblies.
