CarRecallWatch- Component
- STRUCTURE:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- Problem
- Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain 2023 MC20 Cielo vehicles. The windshield frame stud sealant, which retains the stud connecting the windshield frame to the body, may not have been installed, which can reduce body structure performance and roof strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 216, "Roof Crush Resistance" and 214, "Side Impact Protection."
- Risk
- A body structure that does not perform as intended and a roof with insufficient strength may not adequately protect occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the windshield frame mounting stud and install sealant, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 24, 2023. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 662.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2023 Maserati MC20 Cielo convertibles may have been built without sealant on the studs that hold the windshield frame to the body. Without that sealant, the body structure may not perform as designed, and the roof may not be strong enough to meet federal roof crush and side impact requirements.
In a crash, a body structure and roof that do not perform as intended may not adequately protect occupants, which increases the risk of injury.
Dealers will inspect the windshield frame mounting stud and install sealant where needed, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 24, 2023. You can also contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737 (recall number 662), and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
