The Ferrari 458 Spider as well as the 458 Italia are being recalled for faulty trunk latches.

For those who have been looking to play hide-and-seek in the trunk of pricey Italian sports cars, there is some good news if their car of choice is the Ferrari 458 Italia and 458 Spider: they’re being recalled in the U.S. because safety regulators have figured that the internal trunk releases don’t work properly.

Hiders can now get in and out of the trunk on their own.

The 458 Italia starts at about $230,000 and the Spider at $250,000.

The Italian automaker’s North American unit is recalling about 3,000 of the vehicles built between March 2010 and May 2014. The secondary release latch for the trunk, which is located in the front of the car, is defective and doesn’t release when the car is stationary.

However, it does work while the car is in motion, which presents a different set of problems. Since it’s a Ferrari we’re talking about here, it’s probably moving at a high rate of speed as well. Both vehicles boast 570 horsepower engines.

On a serious note, U.S. safety regulations, there must be a way to open the trunk of a car from the inside, which prevents anyone – children, in particular – from getting trapped inside.

The problem in this case is that car hoods have two latches to ensure the hood doesn’t come flying off in the event one fails while the vehicle is moving.  Ferrari’s trunk in the front, if you will, is set up the same way.

Ferrari is letting owners know and dealers will fix the vehicles at no cost to the owner. The recall is expected to begin at the end of September 2014.

The 458 Speciale, a track-oriented high-performance version of the car, is not part of the recall.
