Maserati North America is recalling 9,044 model year 2017 Quattroportes with V6 engines and Ghiblis.
Due to an engine software problem, at slow speeds such as stop-and-go traffic, the transmission may unexpectedly shift into neutral or park, or the engine may shut off.
If the transmission shifts into neutral or park unexpectedly, or if the engine shuts down without warning, the risk of a crash increases.
What to do
Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will re-flash the software for the engine control module, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin May 3, 2018.
Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 365.
