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 the backup camera may fail, increasing the risk of injury or 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 2017 Quattroporte, Ghibli, and Levante vehicles manufactured between July 1, 2016, and November 14, 2016. The recall affects 7,481 vehicles in total.

In temperatures below freezing, the entertainment telematics module (ETM) may enter a protection mode that disables the backup camera. If the camera is inoperable, it may be more difficult for the driver to see people or objects behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of injury or a crash.

Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will update the ETM software free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2016. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
