NHTSA recall 02V130000
Steering · Maserati North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain coupe and sedan passenger vehicles, the positioning of the power steering delivery hose can allow it to come into contact with part of the exhaust manifold.
Why it matters: This could allow the delivery hose to leak power steering fluid onto the hot exhaust manifold and could cause a vehicle fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the position of the power steering delivery hose and install a positioning clamp. If the hose is damaged and/or cannot be moved into the properly aligned position, the hose will be replaced with a new one. Owner notification began May 20, 2002.
