Tires Vehicle recall #12V489000 · 2012 · 485 vehicles
What's wrong: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) May malfunction due to a software error, preventing the driver from being notified of a low tire pressure situation.
Why it matters: If the driver continues to operate the vehicle with a tire that has low air pressure, the tire May fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS control unit free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2012.
