Default Recall- Ferrari 458 Italia. Yes, you read that right.

Seems they got fed up with their pretty new car catching fire.

Ferrari is also a niche market unlike Toyota. With the amount of sales Toyota sees compared to Ferrari, you can bet Toyota is less likely to recall a vehicle. That doesn't make it right but they're playing the odds game.

Ferrari on the other hand has a prestigious image to uphold and if they turned a blind eye to this it would hurt them a lot more than it would Toyota.

Glue? Glue? Replacing the glue with nuts and bolts?

Crap, on a car like that I wouldn't expect something to be glued in place...
