What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where a tire failure could increase the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maserati North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012 Quattroporte, Granturismo, Granturismo Convertible, and Granturismo MC vehicles. The recall involves 485 vehicles in total.

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may malfunction due to a software error. This malfunction prevents the driver from being notified of a low tire pressure situation. 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.

Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS control unit free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2012. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
