As for whether Ferrari will replace any 458 that burned because of the problem, the official reply was: "Of course."

Ferrari 458 Italia Officially Recalled

Ferrari recalls 'cursed' supercar after FIVE 458 Italias burst into flames | Mail Online

BBC News - Ferrari recalls Italia cars after reports of fires


I honestly believe that if the media picked up this story, Porsche would grudgingly offer a replacement or issue a recall, and at least admit to their engineering fault. But in the interests of preserving profits and image, they swept the IMS issue under the rug. A good company with merit and integrity would address these problems even if the major media were not involved, such as Mazda giving engine replacements to RX-8 owners. It seems these words are harsh, but justified given the abhorrent way Porsche handled this issue.
