    I'd still really like to know why if it is so obvious why Ferrari didn't avoid it when they BUILT the cars. After all, it is they that originally installed the clamps that way.





    Deny, Deny, Deny, Deny, Deny and when that doesn't work anymore blame someone else. I saw Ferrari do that so many times.


    FNA, you really do suck you lying Bast@@@s.

    To be fair although FNA (Ferrari North America) undeniably speak with fork tongue, the fault during manufacturer lays with Ferrari SPA (Maranello IT). Any recalls originated from Italy.
    I have to point this out because there will be some Americans who might believe Ferrari is made in the good old USA. And in turn may read posts literally;)

    As the American Importer it is they that are responsible for the information being provided to the dealers, interacting with and providing information to and requesting a recall from the US Gov. That is not done by Spa. It is also FNA who handles litigation on cases in the US where the fires that have happened because of FNA's denial of the problem and refusal to act to prevent a known problem take place. That is done by distributors, not Spa.

    Well thats the world thats America then. In the rest of the world it originated from maranello. We had our recalls in Europe a week before the US. So how would it have originated from FNA first?
    And the responce response was when you said this

    I was told today by my closest dealer that they were expecting to have the parts soon. I'll be eye-balling the clamp position tonight and getting the service in January.

    Guys,
    The dealer service departments worldwide are as dead as a doornail. If I was trying to drum up some business, I'd:
    1-Tell you you might die in a fire if you don't come in right away, then
    2-"Give" you $10.00 worth of "free" parts, while
    3-going through your car with a fine tooth comb looking for "upsells", then
    4-talk you into leaving your car for the major service it's due for.

    Pretty simple marketing strategy for the dealers, and I love the way they blame the aftermarket for the problem, a decade and a half after they knew about it.
