Maserati North America – Frame Mounting Stud Missing Sealant/FMVSS 216

Maserati North America (Maserati) is recalling certain 2023 MC20 Cielo vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 216, “Roof Crush Resistance” and 214, “Side Impact Protection.”
