AUGUST 2011 --
Maserati is recalling
certain model year 2009
Granturismo and Quattroporte
vehicles manufactured from
July 3, 2008, through
September 30, 2008. The rear
suspension left-side and
right-side wheel alignment
toe-in tie- rods may fail
due to incorrect machining.
A failed tie-rod could lead
to a loss of vehicle
control, increasing the risk
of a crash. Dealers will
replace the affected
tie-rods, install a tie-rod
kit and perform a wheel
alignment, free of charge.
The safety recall is
expected to begin during
September 2011.
11V-404
MARCH 2009 --
Maserati is recalling 824 MY
2009 Granturismo vehicles
equipped with the optional
front parking sensor system.
These vehicles were
manufactured with faulty
instrument cluster control
module software which
affects the functionality of
the seat belt warning
buzzer's ability to
activate, thereby not
properly warning when the
seat belts are not engaged.
If the buzzer does not
sound, occupants may fail to
buckle the seat belts
adequately, resulting in
greater risk of injury in
the event of a crash.
Dealers will upload a new
software into the vehicle's
instrument cluster control
module unit. The recall is
expected to begin during
April 2009. Owners may
contact Maserati at
201-816-2600.

JANUARY 2009 --
Maserati is recalling 7,912
MY 2008 Gran Turismo, Alfa
Romeo, and MY 2005-2008
Quattroporte vehicles.
Incorrectly torqued upper
and lower ball joint nuts
may cause the ball joint
nuts to loosen. In time,
this could lead to noise,
steering wheel vibration,
and failure of the ball
joint stud resulting in
damage or separation of the
suspension arm. This could
result in a loss of steering
capability, increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers
will inspect the torque of
the front/rear upper and
lower ball joint nuts and,
if necessary, replace the
suspension arms and hub
carrier. The recall is
expected to begin during
February 2009. Owners may
contact Maserati at
1-201-816-2600.
