"Ferrari Recalls New 458 Italia After Some Catch Fire"

Ferrari has recently recalled its new 2010 458 Italia after there have been incidents involving the automobile catching fire.  Ferrari is taking care of this issue with full consideration as it has recalled the vehicle.  This is a another example in the automotive industry of business ethics, in which automobile companies have dealt with their vehicle problems by recalling automobiles.

In Ferrari's case, they had to recall their 458 Italia model due to problems with the engine heat shields.  In addition to the recall the manufacturers have replaced the current engine shields with a more efficient engine shield that uses rivets instead of glue. Ferrari will most certainly take this issue very seriously as the automobile costs around $230,000.

Ferrari is known for providing their customers with the best sports car in the industry.  As a major sports car company and a key player in the automotive industry Ferrari will do anything to keep its reputation at a high.

    Ferrari sets a good example for other automobile manufactures. Recalling a car because of engineering problems is the responsible and ethical way to deal business. Where does Ferrari find the money in order to fix/replace the cars being recalled? How do automobile recalls affect the automobile industry as a whole in America?
