"In a statement, the Italian brand states that a defect in the crankshaft can cause abnormal vibrations and consequent damage to the engine."
Apparently not even the most reputable Italian brands can stay out of the circuit of manufacturing defects that have affected the car industry and that has even forced the recall of millions of cars around the world. The damage these boys will have…
Ferrari has already announced that it will collect a total of 206 units of the 458 Italia and California models due to a defect in the crankshaft that, in addition to causing abnormal vibrations, can cause some damage to the animal's heart (engine).
"We are currently contacting all customers affected by the problem, asking them to deliver the car to a dealer so that we can correct the problem", explained a spokesman for the Italian brand quoted by the British «Autocar».
It seems that 13,000 units of the two sports cars involved in this collection have already been produced, but if you own one of these two machines, rest assured, because so far there is no information on whether the problem affects some of the units sold in Portugal. However, the warning is already released, for safety it is convenient to visit the Ferrari dealer in Portugal.
