NHTSA recall 16V856000
Power Train · Maserati North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Maserati north america, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain model year 2017 Quattroporte and Ghibli vehicles manufactured July 1, 2016, to October 12, 2016. The rear differential unit pinion nut may not have been properly tightened, allowing the pinion nut to loosen.
Why it matters: A loose pinion gear may bind, possibly resulting in the rear wheels locking up and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear differential unit pinion nut torque, and, as necessary, replace the rear differential unit, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2016.
