Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and GranTurismo recalled

Owners of 2005-2008 Maserati Quattroportes, 2008 GranTurismos, and the 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C should expect to hear from dealers soon as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a recall this past week.

The recall is for tie-rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection, which then leads to rust and weakening of the units. This unit could fail completely, causing the driver of the vehicle to lose control.

There are 7,348 cars impacted. Repairs are expected to begin by June. Current owners of these vehicles are encouraged to take caution and may contact Maserati immediately for more questions. Click here to view the NHTSA's full press release.
