Not to be confused with this sticky lunch batch:
A sticky trunk latch is something that is apparently afflicting Ferrari 458s.
According to this Autoguide story, Ferrari are recalling the cars due to this fault. Being an Ameriican story, they refer to the trunk as the bit of the car wher you put your luggage, what we Brits would call "the boot" or, since it is at the front of the car where the engine (motor) normally lives, we could be forgiven for calling it "the bonnet".
However, whilst irritating, it's not really a big deal not being able to easily get at your overnight bag now is it?
Well, this is an American story remember. And they have extra laws over there to protect people who have been stuffed into car trunks (as opposed to swimming trunks or elephant trunks) by Mafiosos, psychopaths, debt collectors etc. In fact they have to have a little handle in there that can be pulled from inside to allow escape. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 401 is the rule that Autoguide quote.
Only problem with this recall is the size of a Ferrari 458 trunk:
