Maserati has launched a recall in Australia this week for its Quattroporte and Ghibli models, due to a potential problem with the door-locking mechanism.
During normal operation, should the vehicle be stationary and one of the doors is opened, the automatic transmission will self-shift to ‘park’ as a safety precaution.
However, Maserati has identified a weakness with the mechanism in the driver’s door lock, which may see this safety precaution fail.
Should this occur, the driver may not realise the transmission is still engaged in a driving gear and the vehicle could move, causing a hazard to the occupants and other road users.
To Maserati watchers, this Australian recall may sound familiar to a recall undertaken in the US last year, but the local recall is for a separate issue.
