Details

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.
