BBC News - 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.

Sounds like Ferrari needs to add "scorch eliminator" technology (aka automatic fire extinguishers) to their cars. Like Xerox had in their early copying machines, which had an unfortunate tendency to catch on fire.
