⚠️Elevated Concerns

The 2023 Maserati Grecale's reliability is hampered by multiple recalls affecting critical safety features. With average failure seen at just 5,400 miles, owners should stay vigilant about potential software and lighting issues.

Key Factor:Multiple safety recalls

πŸ“‹Why This Matters

The defects in the Grecale focus primarily on back-over prevention systems and exterior lighting. The software glitches can hinder rear visibility when reversing, posing significant safety risks. Similarly, improper headlight alignment can compromise nighttime visibility, which is crucial for safe driving. With a performance-oriented vehicle like the Grecale, these issues should be addressed promptly to ensure the driving experience matches the Maserati reputation for luxury and safety.

Focus Area:Safety Profile

Expert Analysis

Considering the number of recalls in its debut year, the Grecale's reliability is lower than what one would expect from a luxury SUV brand like Maserati. While Maserati has historically made strides in engineering quality, these early hiccups could affect owner confidence moving forward.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

Summary

Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Grecale and 2024 GranTurismo vehicles. The Central Vision Park Assist Module (CVPAM) software may prevent the rearview image from displaying when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Consequence

An inoperative rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of injury or crash.

Remedy

Dealers will update the CVPAM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 20, 2024. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 761.

The car would not go into Park. The park button flickered, and a message appeared on the dashboard stating that the vehicle was too fast to be put into Park, even though the car was completely stopped in a parking lot with the brake pedal engaged. After multiple attempts to press the button and engage the parking gear without success, I turned off the car using the power button, which eventually allowed it to shift into Park. This situation is extremely dangerous. If the parking gear were to engage unexpectedly and hit any objects or people, the consequences could be catastrophic. I have reached out to Maserati with this concern, but it has taken an inordinate amount of time for them to respond. An active case has been opened with Maserati regarding this issue, and it has been documented that, in the event of an accident caused by this malfunction, Maserati would be held responsible and liable.
