Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the airbag warning labels are located on the headliner under the sun visors. Canadian regulations require information about the airbag system to be provided on both sides of the sun visor. Safety Risk: This small error does not affect safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Maserati has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have the airbag warning labels installed correctly.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the seat wiring harness layout may have been routed incorrectly during manufacturing. Through normal seat adjustment, this could cause the seat wiring harness to rub against metal points on the seat/seat frame assembly. Over time, this could lead to an inoperative seat adjustment system, and in some cases could result in an electrical short to ground between the seat wiring harness and the seat adjustment motor assembly, which could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect routing and will secure and protect the seat wiring harness, and if necessary, install a new seat wiring harness.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a bolt that attaches the rear tie-rod to the hub carrier assembly may not have been torqued to specification. This could cause the bolt to loosen, which could result in noise from the rear of the vehicle. Over time, this could lead to separation of the tie-rod from the hub carrier, affecting steering control and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect tie-rod to hub carrier attaching bolts and will repair as necessary.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the driver side floor mat anchors could break over time which could allow the floor mat to slide forward and potentially allowing the accelerator to become stuck in the wide open position. A fully depressed accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to slow or stop the vehicle. This could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver side floor mat and possibly the accelerator pedal cover.
