Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,000 model-year 2014 Maserati Quattroporte GTS luxury sedans equipped with a V-8 engine, manufactured between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2013
The Problem: The battery positive cable for the alternator and starter motor may not have its insulating cap installed properly at the starter motor, and the cable may not be adequately secured in the engine bay. This could result in the cable shorting to ground, causing the wiring harness to overheat and resulting in a fire and engine stalling. This could increase the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect vehicles to verify that the starter motor cable has a properly installed protective cap and that the cable is adequately secured. If not, the starter motor cable assembly will be replaced for free.
What Owners Should Do: Maserati will begin notifying owners on Nov. 11. Owners can call the automaker at 201-816-2600, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
