"thermal incidents" :lol: ut:

Reminds me of BMW's response in the 2008 NHTSB Report on EHPS pump electrical harness failures causing a localized, non-propagating "smoldering condition" ...

Yeah, right.

 

hmmmn, here's an opportunity to but a used 458 cheap! Lol "heat treated"

 

I was curious when they were going to do that. Didn't know they made 1200 cars. Thought it was around 4-500, so I was figuring with 5 fires that I knew of it had a failure rate of 1-1.25%. It is actually only about .4% then.

To put that in perspective that would be equivalent of 1,600 of '09 model year Camry's catching on fire. Can you imagine what effect that would have on Toyota sales? I mean NTSB went medieval on them over a 100 or so reported gas pedals.

 

good for them. obvious something is quite wrong

 

We had one of these at the racetrack yesterday, what a beautiful car!

Interesting to know what caused the problem - and that those few people who lost theirs due to the "thermal incident" are going to get a new one! Schweet!

 

Huh.....
Now that Ferrari has announced free replacements, I wonder if there is going to be a sudden rash of fires?

 

I saw that car about 2 weeks and looked amazing. I guess when you read this you can't complain about BMW/Mini reliability lol

 

Or you still can for the simple fact Ferrari is REALLY taking car of their customers on this one. Though they also spent 7x the money, so i would certainly hope so.

IMO Kudos to Ferrari.

 

So when are the congressional hearings grilling (no pun intended) the Ferrari execs???
