Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Jan 25, 2012
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

TAILLIGHTS WERE PART OF MASERATI RECALL 198. A RECALL LETTER WAS SENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER BUT NO SERVICE WAS EVER PERFORMED. A VIN SEARCH ON MASERATIUSA.COM REVEALS A DOWNLOADABLE COPY OF THIS RECALL LETTER INDICATING LIGHTS MANUFACTURED BEFORE 2010 ARE FAULTY. MINE WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2008 AND DESPITE THIS EVIDENCE MASERATI HAS DECLINED SERVICE. I AM ASKING FOR HELP IN GETTING MASERATI TO REPLACE THE TAILLIGHTS, WHICH TURN OFF SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING. IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT WHEN I RAN THIS VIN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IT SHOWED THE SAME RECALL. UNFOR

Management and Maintenance of New Maserati In-Stock Vehicles
