Recalls: Maserati M157 Ghibli
Maserati Ghibli: accelerator pedal and floor mat
In April 2016, a recall was issued for Maserati M157 Ghibli vehicles because the accelerator pedal may be entrapped by the floor mat in any operating position. If the accelerator pedal were entrapped, it could cause a serious collision that results in injury to vehicle occupants or pedestrians. For the VINs of the recalled Maserati Ghibli vehicles, please see PRA 2016/15298.
Maserati Ghibli: screws for rear toe-in adjustment rods
In June 2016, a recall was issued for Maserati M157 Ghiblivehicles because the screws which secured the rear toe-in adjustment rods may loosen. If this occurred, the correct wheel alignment could be lost – this could cause a loss of vehicle control, posing an accident hazard to the driver and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled Maserati Ghibli vehicles, please see PRA 2016/15449.
2014 model year Maserati M157 Ghibli: driver may not engage ‘park’ gear lever position
In February 2017, a recall was issued for ‘2014 model year’ Maserati M157 Ghibli vehicles. In these vehicles, the resting position of the gearshift lever could cause the driver to believe that the lever was in the ‘Park’ position when it was actually still in a drive gear. The driver may therefore not engage park and this could result in unintended movement of the vehicle, with the potential to cause damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury when the driver attempted to exit the vehicle. For the VINs of the recalled Maserati M157 Ghibli vehicles, please see PRA 2017/15930.
2014-15 model year Maserati Ghibli: potential fuel leak
In April 2017, a recall was issued for 2014 and 2015 model year Maserati Ghibli vehicles. In these vehicles, fuel could leak from a fuel delivery pipe. If fuel leaked onto the road, this could pose a safety hazard to other road users; in the presence of an ignition source, it also posed a fire hazard. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2017/16043.
2014-15 Maserati Ghibli: fuel leak and potential engine fire
In February 2019, a recall was issued for Maserati Ghibli vehicles that had petrol engines and were available for sale in Australia prior to 1 June 2015. During the manufacturing process, the fuel lines of these vehicles may have been damaged – this could result in a fuel leak and potential engine fire. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17334.
2017-19 Maserati M157 Ghibli: incorrect assembly for LED headlights
In August 2019, recall campaign 387 was issued for Maserati M157 Ghibli vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 1 October 2017 to 31 July 2019. Due to a factory fault, the full LED headlights setting may not have been assembled correctly. The ‘full LED headlights’ setting may therefore beam excessively high light towards oncoming vehicles – this could impair visibility for oncoming traffic and increase the risk of a collision. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17738.
