Reason for recall: It has been identified that the locking nut of the differential pinion may not have been tightened to the correct specification. This will be identified to the driver by noise generated from the differential and also possible vibration. If these warning signs are ignored and with prolonged use in this condition then it could result in a possible failure/locking of the differential and the subsequent loss of control of the vehicle.
When was it announced?

What action are Maserati taking?
Recall all affected vehicle to check the tightness of the locking nut on the differential pinion. If it is found to be incorrect then the differential will be replaced and possibly the drive-shaft if projections or metal contaminates are found in the differential rear cover.
