Maserati is recalling 28,235 examples of the 2014-2016 Quattroporte and Ghibli models sold in the US built between February 1, 2013, and November 30, 2015.
The Problem: The anchor securing the driver’s side floor mat could come loose, allowing the mat to get jammed underneath the accelerator.
Injuries/Deaths: The investigation stemmed from four reported incidents of the accelerator getting stuck, but no accidents or injuries were reported to have resulted.
The fix: Maserati dealers will replace the floor mat and possibly the accelerator pedal cover as well, starting at the end of April 2016.
If you own one: Expect to hear from the manufacturer to arrange an appointment with your local dealer. In the meantime, watch out that the floor mat doesn’t get stuck under the pedals.
