SUMMARY:
Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain model year 2014 Quattroporte GTS V8 vehicles manufactured October 1, 2013, to December 31, 2013.
In the affected vehicles, the battery positive cable for the alternator and starter motor may not have its insulating cap installed properly at the starter motor.
Additionally, the cable may not be adequately secured in the engine bay. These factors may result in the cable shorting to ground.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the battery positive cable shorts to ground, the wiring harness may overheat, resulting in a fire.
The car also may stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle to verify that the starter motor cable has a properly installed protective cap and that the cable is adequately secured.
If not, the starter motor cable assembly will be replaced.
These repairs will be performed free of charge.
The recall began on November 11, 2015.
Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-201-816-2600.
Maserati’s number for this recall is 279.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
