    My July delivered car which has had the "fire" recall done is now the subject of two more recalls from FNA. Dealer says these are minor but they do involve an engine breather pipe replacement design. Car being picked up next Tuesday. Anybody else had this done ?

    I had three recalls done on my 458... glue (fire prone), breather pipe and one more thing (I don't remember what) ....
    It took my dealer 22 days to get all this fixed... luckily I was away for 20 days ... i was a bit upset that it took two additional days when I returned...
    The dealer gave me a Ferrari watch when I picked up the car...

    Yes. Simple fix. Took half an hour.

    Could someone document the total number of recalls done so far? And what was each recall for? I only know about the glue resin/epoxy being fire recall and they changed it to mechanical fasteners. What is the breather pipe recall for? And what other recalls are there?

    One recall (heat shield) the other was a campaign on intake manifold

    Was the watch a reminder they took your TIME to get to your car?

    22 Days? Why? Did you inspect the car for bodywork after you got it back?

    I got the car back in perfect condition.... They put about 9 miles on it....
    The reason it took all this time is that I was away for 20 days on a overseas trip so they did the first recall, then the next and waited for the parts and the third...
    The recall work is fast waiting on Italy to send parts is another story...

    Ferrari is really good about keeping this sort of stuff on the DL. Watch it hit the interwebz soon though...
