Maserati owners in the United States might want to check their dashboards. Stellantis, the parent company of Maserati, has issued a recall affecting 27,354 vehicles due to problems with their rearview cameras.
The issue stems from radio software glitches that can prevent the rearview camera image from displaying, increasing the risk of accidents.
This recall covers a range of popular models produced between 2023 and 2025, including:
- Grecale
- MC20 Cielo
- GranTurismo
- GranCabrio
- Levante
- Ghibli
- Quattroporte
- MC20
What’s the Issue?
The problem lies in the vehicles’ infotainment systems, where a software malfunction causes the rearview camera image to fail, violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Given the reliance on rearview cameras for parking and reversing, this glitch presents a safety hazard.
How Will Maserati Fix It?
Fortunately, affected owners won’t need to visit a dealership for this fix. Stellantis is addressing the issue with an over-the-air (OTA) software update. This means the software patch will be downloaded directly to vehicles via the internet, allowing for a quick and convenient fix without an appointment.
What Should Owners Do?
Maserati will notify affected owners via mail starting in March 2025. Instructions for the OTA update will be provided, ensuring drivers can easily apply the fix. Those who prefer in-person service can also contact their local Maserati dealership for assistance.
Why This Matters
This recall underscores the growing reliance on software in modern vehicles. While OTA updates provide convenience, software glitches can still impact critical safety features. Maserati’s swift response highlights the brand’s commitment to safety and customer satisfaction.
Owners are encouraged to monitor Maserati’s official recall page or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website for further updates.
