RECALL: Maserati North America Recalls 409 Vehicles For Potential Fuel Leak!

Maserati North America, Inc. has issued a voluntary safety recall for about 409 vehicles sold in the United States according to documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The recall involves four different models in the brand’s lineup to replace a fuel line sensor housing.

According to the recall, a fuel line sensor fuel leak may cause fuel starvation of the engine. In rare circumstances, if the leaked fuel comes in contact with an ignition source, a fire could occur.

Fuel starvation may also result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. A vehicle fire can result in an increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage.

The recall states the affected units include the following vehicles…

• 274 units of 2021 and 2022 Levante built between September 18th, 2020 and October 4th, 2021
• 88 units of 2021 Ghibli built between November 3rd, 2020 to June 7th, 2021
• 43 units of 2021 Quattroporte built between October 28th, 2020 to June 7th, 2021
