Vehicles Affected: Approximately 150 model-year 2016 Maserati GranTurismo coupe and convertible sports cars manufactured between June 24 and Sept. 2, 2015
The Problem: The passenger-side door latch components were not heat treated during manufacturing; as a result, the door latch may fail in a crash, allowing the door to open and increasing the risk of an injury.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side door latch assembly for free.
What Owners Should Do: Maserati began notifying owners in November. Owners can call the automaker at 201-816-2600, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
