Latest Brake recall oddity
Discussion
So - 458 has just been returned from its annual service, MOT and latest brake recall campaign to fix fluid cap and updating of instrument panel node software - and its odometer is now reading less miles than when it went in!
Has anyone else experienced this - the dealer’s service manager (I can’t get through to the principal!) has said he thinks it must be the software update and will need to check with Ferrari?

As long as Ferrari are ok about it it sounds like the perfect time to drive it with reckless abandon. The unbridled enjoyment of those free miles you'll experience cannot be understated. 
(it is odd though)
No acknowledgment from Ferrari yet. The dealer assured me they have raised the question.(it is odd though)
From your reply though, would you be ok with having your car clocked if you thought you could get away without it being detected?

Mine comes back next Friday, i will update this thread if the miles are the same or less!
Keep us updated. My dealer has responded to say that Ferrari have confirmed to them that the s/w update has caused the odometer to go backwards! I have asked for this in writing and am awaiting receipt.Just an update to my previous post:
My dealer has now responded with a reply from the FNE "Senior Aftersales Manager" which is repeated below:
"I have reviewed the two downloads from the DEIS and I can confirm that the download does seem to have caused a discrepancy between the original mileage and the second download. We would be happy to correct this, but we will require the vehicle in the workshop to remotely interact via our technical department."
In my instance the discrepancy is single digit miles (assuming and trusting that my car was not "test driven" in their care) so there seems little point in an additional 80 mile round trip to the dealer to "correct" it at this stage. The reply doesn't confirm that this issue has been raised with the factory, (doesn't warrant further investigation in their view?) so it will be interesting to learn if others of you experience any irregularities - especially it the glitch is removing (or adding) a random number!

If the odometer reading doesn't match up with the other mileage readings on the car I would still not be happy even if it is single digit difference.
It would ring alarm bells with anyone checking out the car and imply clocking.
Agreed - which is why I have agreed they can sort it when it's next in. Incidentally, can anyone on here confirm 100% that there is a gearbox ECU that record the mileage too - my dealer's service manager seems to think the 458 doesn't have this capability?!It would ring alarm bells with anyone checking out the car and imply clocking.
