2002 Maserati Coupe & 2002 Maserati Maserati + 1 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain Coupe and Sedan passenger vehicles, the positioning of the power steering delivery hose CAN allow it to come into contact with part of the exhaust manifold.
💥 The risk
This could allow the delivery hose to leak power steering fluid onto the hot exhaust manifold and could cause a vehicle fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the position of the power steering delivery hose and install a positioning clamp. If the hose is damaged and/or cannot be moved into the properly aligned position, the hose will be replaced with a new one. Owner notification began may 20, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Maserati at 1-877.696.2737.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
