The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, two of the four securing bolts in the steering assembly May not have had a locking compound applied to the threads prior to installation. As a result, the bolts May become loose when the cars are driven aggressively.
The risk
Such circumstances could lead to a reduction in vehicle control, which could result in a crash.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TWO AFFECTED BOLTS. THE RECALL BEGAN MARCH 5, 2004. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737.
