Plain-English summary

Maserati North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Quattroporte vehicles equipped with V6 engines and 2017 Ghibli vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the engine software that can cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into neutral or park, or the engine to shut off, particularly at slow speeds such as in stop-and-go traffic.

This defect increases the risk of a crash if the vehicle loses power or shifts gears without warning. Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will re-flash the software for the engine control module free of charge. The recall was expected to begin in May 2018.

Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information. Maserati's number for this recall is 365.
