IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION April 19, 2024 NHTSA Recall#: 24V-269
Maserati Recall # 718
Dear Maserati Dealer:
This notification is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Maserati S.p.A. and Maserati North America, Inc. (MNA), have decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2021 and 2022 Model Year (MY) Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli vehicles.
Maserati S.p.A. and MNA have determined that the above-described vehicles may contain a safety defect in fuel line sensor housing that may crack and leak fuel. The fuel line sensor fuel leak may cause fuel starvation of the engine. In rare circumstances, if the leaked fuel comes in contact with an ignition source, a fire could occur. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage.
The remedy is to introduce a specific procedure to replace the fuel line sensor housing. The remedy will be performed free of charge to the vehicle owner. MNA will pay you for the costs and labor necessary to remedy this recall campaign. The necessary components for this recall are currently available to dealers, and owners will be directed to contact their dealers for repairs.
Maserati dealers must ensure recalls are completed after having been notified by MNA that a safety-related defect or noncompliance exists in any motor vehicle or item of replacement equipment in the dealer’s possession at the time of notification. In MNA’s case, this notification would typically be made by the issuance of a recall notification in the form of a Technical Bulletin.
Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, if a recall campaign is announced by MNA, dealers must ensure that all recalls on new vehicles and new items of replacement equipment are completed BEFORE delivery to the consumer.
This means that dealers must not illegally sell, lease, or deliver new motor vehicles or new items of replacement equipment to consumers with an open recall.
Under the terms of the Certified Pre-Owned (“CPO”) program, CPO vehicles with an open recall may not be sold or delivered to the consumer.
Finally, MNA dealers should not sell or use parts that have been recalled by MNA. Please follow the specific instructions provided by MNA about the return or disposition of the parts.
If you have any of the affected vehicles in your stock, you must not sell them until you have performed the necessary recall repairs on the vehicle. If you have sold any of the vehicles with VINs indicated in the enclosed instructions and have not yet sent in the new owner information to MNA, please do so at once so that MNA may notify these owners.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Maserati Technical Safety and Regulatory Compliance
