Customer Legal Recall # 718 – U.S.
MY21, MY22 Ghibli and Quattroporte V8 – Fuel Line Replacement

MaseratieBay S.p.A. and MaseratieBay North America, Inc., (“MNA”) have decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some MY 2021 and MY 2022 Quattroporte, MY 2021 and MY 2022 Ghibli vehicles, that may have been equipped with certain fuel line sensor housings.

 

Description of Vehicle Safety Recall #718

MaseratieBay S.p.A. and MNA have determined that the above-described vehicles may contain a safety defect in the 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.

This repair procedure will be performed free of charge to the vehicle owner.
