According to this source, all the 499 Ferrari LaFerrari’s are being recalled and the reason being speculated is a potential fire hazard. Ferrari are calling out to all the customers and stating that the reason for recall is a paint problem. The customers are being told that a particular part of the hybrid hypercar needs a repaint. The customers are not allowed to talk about this new maintenance procedure.



The noticeable change is the additional electrical non-conducting coating given to the fuel tank. Ferrari are denying a worldwide recall of the LaFerrari and are mentioning this occurrence as a mere regular maintenance where the fuel tank is undergoing some minute adjustments. Reports are coming in that an additional electrical non-conducting coating has been given to the tank which points out to minimising the fire outbreak.

To make things more suspicious, there were reports of a LaFerrari catching fire in Italy last summer.

Between this and Ferrari refusing to let people run it against the P1 and 918, this thing is starting to look a bit sad.

Out of the three cars, Porsche come across as being the most professional in how they have gone about selling and delivering this product.

I'm prepared to forgive Maclaren as it's only really been Ron's silly remark that has jaded them and being the smallest of the three firms with the least history in delivery road cars by an absolute mile they've done brilliantly.

Ferrari have just been total nobs however and shown how little they respect their customers. But what's really interesting is the fact that some of the wealthiest and most succesful people on the planet have shown themselves to be someone's bh. Which is slightly unexpected.

Only in the eyes of the internet. I don't see it harming the sales figures or the brand. They keep selling out of cars that people have never driven, before the complete a production version?

If that is sad...
