Not according to Ferrari.

That's how you know it's a Ferrari! It was common for these prancing horse fires to occur in the 1990s. The 430 model was the first to be decently reliable, apparently the last as well. Ferrari only cares about racing, they are not very involved in selling, they just do it out of necessity.
