What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Maserati North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Quattroporte and Ghibli vehicles manufactured between February 1, 2013, and September 18, 2015. The recall involves 26,464 vehicles.

During the assembly process, the rear tie-rod to hub assembly attaching bolt may not have been properly tightened. An improperly tightened bolt may allow the tie-rod to separate from the hub carrier, resulting in a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the left and right rear tie-rod to hub carrier assembly attaching bolts to verify that they are properly tightened, replacing the rear tie-rod to hub carrier assembly as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during July 2016. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
