Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain 2023 MC20 Cielo vehicles. The windshield frame bonding may be insufficient, allowing the frame to detach in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”

The suspect period was determined, using vehicle production records, to be some 2023 MY Maserati MC20 Cielo vehicles built between October 10th, 2022, the start of vehicle production, and March 21st, 2023, when the vehicle assembly plant corrected the issue in vehicle production. According to the recall, 11 units are affected by the recall.
