Recalls

3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Backup camera Vehicle recall #16V839000 · 2016 · 7,481 vehicles

What's wrong: Maserati north america, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain model year 2017 quattroporte, ghible, and levante vehicles manufactured July 1, 2016, to November 14, 2016. In temperatures below freezing, the entertainment telematics module (etm) May place itself in a protection mode, disabling the back-up camera.

Why it matters: If the back-up camera is inoperable, it May be more difficult for the operator to see people or objects behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.

The fix: Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will update the etm software, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2016.

What's wrong: Maserati north america, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain 2014-2017 quattroporte and ghibli, and 2017 levante vehicles. Adjusting the front seats May cause the seat wiring harness to rub, possibly resulting in an electrical short.

Why it matters: An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles, replacing the seat wiring harness, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 26, 2017.

What's wrong: Maserati north america, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain 2017 levante vehicles. Due to an engine software problem, at slow speeds such as stop-and-go traffic, the transmission May unexpectedly shift into neutral or the engine May shut off.
