What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect affecting roof crush resistance and side impact protection, which aligns with the rubric criterion for a score of 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Maserati North America, Inc. is recalling 59 model year 2023 MC20 Cielo vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the windshield frame stud sealant, which retains the stud connecting the windshield frame to the body, may not have been installed. This issue can reduce body structure performance and roof strength, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 216 (Roof Crush Resistance) and 214 (Side Impact Protection).

A body structure that does not perform as intended and a roof with insufficient strength may not adequately protect occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Dealers will inspect the windshield frame mounting stud and install sealant, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 24, 2023. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
