Recalls
3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Electrical Vehicle recall #09V092000 · 2009 · 824 vehicles
What's wrong: These vehicles were manufactured with faulty instrument cluster control module software which affects the functionality of the seat belt warning buzzer's ability to activate, thereby not properly warning when the seat belts are not engaged.
Why it matters: If the buzzer does not sound, occupants May fail to buckle the seat belts adequately, resulting in greater risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will upload a new software into the vehicle's instrument cluster control module unit. The recall is expected to begin during April 2009.
Steering Vehicle recall #11V406000 · 2011 · 763 vehicles
What's wrong: The rear suspension left-side and right-side wheel alignment toe-in tie- rods May fail due to incorrect machining.
Why it matters: A failed tie-rod could lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the affected tie-rods, install a tie-rod kit and perform a wheel alignment, free of charge. The safety recall began on September 9, 2011.
Exterior lights Vehicle recall #12V024000 · 2012 · 1,768 vehicles
What's wrong: Due to a faulty lamp assembly, the rear lights (both tail and brake) May fail.
Why it matters: Tail and/or brake lamp failure could lead to reduced vehicle visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Maserati will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace affected rear tail lamp assemblies free of charge. The safety recall began on February 29, 2012.
