warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair

OPEN HOURS MON–FRI | 9AM–6PM
Five recalls on the 2024 GranTurismo — backup camera, engine stall, headlights. CA owners may qualify for a buyback. Free review from Margarian Law.
You paid somewhere north of $158,000 for a Maserati GranTurismo. The badge promises Italian artistry, a hand-assembled Nettuno twin-turbo V6 derived from the Le Mans-winning MC20, and a grand touring experience on a platform purpose-built from a clean sheet. What some 2023-2024 owners have encountered instead is a vehicle still working out the bugs of its own launch. Five federal recalls have already been issued against the 2024 GranTurismo — an unusually high tally for a low-volume exotic in its first two model years. Two of those recalls address the same federally mandated backup camera system failing to display a rearview image, with different root causes: one in the Central Vision Park Assist Module and a second in the radio software itself, part of the MIA 2.0 infotainment architecture. A third recall targets BCM software that can cause the fuel gauge to read incorrectly and the engine to stall unexpectedly on the highway. Beyond the formal recall record, press reviewers and early owners report engine vibration at low speeds inconsistent with a vehicle at this price, ZF 8HP transmission shifts that can feel harsh on cold starts, and a build quality in the cabin — particularly the gear selector cluster — that falls short of German rivals at the same price point. For buyers of the GranTurismo Cielo convertible variant, the new three-piece retractable aluminum roof is an additional mechanical system with no field history. The GranTurismo is a genuinely exciting car, and the Nettuno engine is a technical tour de force. But a new platform, a new engine, and a new infotainment system arriving simultaneously in a low-volume launch is a recipe for teething problems — and California's lemon law exists precisely for buyers of high-priced vehicles that spend too many days at the dealer.

warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 24V679000 establishes that Maserati was aware of the BCM software defect causing the fuel gauge to display incorrect levels and the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving. Under Song-Beverly §1793.2, an owner whose vehicle stalled or was returned to the dealer two or more times for this BCM software issue — especially if stall occurred on a highway — has strong grounds for a lemon-law claim. Preserve all BCM software update repair orders; the recall remedy (BCM reflash) may not be permanent if underlying hardware mismatch exists.
Dealers will update the BCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 16, 2024. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 749.
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 24V892000 confirms that the Central Vision Park Assist Module (CVPAM) software in 2024 GranTurismos may prevent the federally required rearview camera image from appearing, violating FMVSS 111. An owner who has experienced backup camera failure — whether or not they received the recall notice — is entitled to a no-charge CVPAM software update. If the dealer has visited for backup camera blackout two or more times without a lasting fix, or if the vehicle was out of service for 30+ cumulative days, Song-Beverly protection applies.
Dealers will update the CVPAM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 20, 2024. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 761.
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 25V098000 identifies a separate and distinct root cause from Recall 24V892000: here the radio software (part of the MIA 2.0 system) — not the CVPAM module — prevents the rearview image from displaying. This recall affects an unusually wide fleet (seven Maserati models across three model years), suggesting a systemic software engineering failure. An owner who received the OTA or dealer fix and then experienced a recurrence of camera blackout should document the repeat visit carefully — it supports the 'reasonable number of attempts' threshold under Cal. Civ. Code §1793.2(d)(2).
The radio software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 10, 2025. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 740.
warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 25V244000 addresses a tire information label that may detach from the B-Pillar, creating a regulatory non-compliance (FMVSS 110) and an overloading risk. While this issue is less likely to serve as the primary basis for a lemon-law claim, it contributes to the cumulative repair-visit count under Song-Beverly: every recall-related dealer visit — even label replacement — is a documented repair attempt. Owners should retain all repair orders to build an accurate service history.
Dealers will replace the labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 7, 2025. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 784.
tail light out; exterior light warning; reduced rear visibility
Recall 25V722000 addresses missing headlight aim-adjustment prevention caps that allow headlights to be improperly aimed, reducing road illumination and increasing crash risk — a federal safety standard violation. Improper headlight aim that reduces visibility at night is a safety impairment that supports a Song-Beverly claim if two or more dealer visits fail to permanently correct the headlight aim or if related lighting faults co-occur. Document all lighting-related dealer visits regardless of whether a recall notice has been received.
Maserati North America will inspect and, if necessary, install one or two caps to cover the horizontal headlight aim adjustment mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 25, 2025. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 877-696-2737. Maserati's number for thi
touchscreen goes black and reboots while driving; infotainment unresponsive to touch; navigation freezes mid-route; wireless Apple CarPlay drops connection repeatedly; screen requires full system restart to recover
Infotainment failure on a $158,000+ grand tourer constitutes a substantial impairment of use and value under Song-Beverly §1793.2. If Maserati has performed two or more repair attempts for screen freeze or CarPlay dropout without a permanent fix, or if the vehicle spent 30+ days out of service across all warranty repairs combined, a lemon-law claim becomes viable. The confirmed radio-software recall (25V098000) demonstrates manufacturer awareness of software defects in the same system.
OTA software update (where available) or dealer reflash; Recall 25V098000 addresses one radio-software root cause; additional software patches may be required for unrelated freeze behavior.
harsh downshift clunk when braking to a stop; lurching or jerking on 1-2 upshift from rest; transmission hesitates or stumbles during low-speed parking maneuvers; uncomfortable shudder on light-throttle highway cruise; car bucks when engaging Drive or Reverse from Park
Transmission harshness that persists across multiple dealer visits without a permanent software fix is a textbook Song-Beverly 'Drivability/Reliability' impairment — particularly at this vehicle's price point where smooth, refined operation is a core warranty promise. Two or more unsuccessful repair attempts for the same shift harshness symptom may satisfy the statutory repair-attempt threshold.
TCM software update or transmission adaptation reset at dealer; if symptom persists after two software attempts, valve body inspection or replacement may be required.
noticeable vibration through steering wheel and floorboards at 25-35 mph; engine feels lumpy or rough at idle and low rpm; vibration disappears above 40 mph; owner describes sensation as if driving over gravel at low speed; vibration worse when cold
Persistent engine vibration noted by automotive press on a six-figure luxury GT suggests a characteristic inconsistent with the implied warranty of merchantability under Song-Beverly. If the dealer acknowledges the vibration as a known characteristic (not a defect), but the owner's use and enjoyment is materially impaired, this supports a warranty-of-fitness argument. Document every dealer visit at which you raised the vibration complaint.
Engine mount inspection; ECU/calibration update if issued by Maserati NA; no recall or TSB publicly confirmed as of research date.
vehicle fails to start after sitting unused for 2-5 days; dashboard warning lights illuminate unexpectedly including battery or electrical system alert; car requires jump-start repeatedly; infotainment and comfort features behave erratically after battery event; dealer finds no fault codes on first visit
Chronic 12V battery drain that disables the vehicle is a drivability impairment under Song-Beverly §1793.2(d). Because Recall 24V679000 establishes that Maserati's BCM software is defective in this vehicle, owners who experience repeated no-start events after BCM reflash can argue the recall remedy was ineffective — a key lemon-law trigger. Keep records of every battery-related service visit and jump-start event.
BCM software update (covered by Recall 24V679000); battery replacement if cells degraded by repeated deep discharge; dealer may need to perform parasitic draw test if no fault codes present.
retractable hardtop roof stalls mid-cycle and will not complete open or close sequence; roof warning light illuminates on instrument cluster; roof operation aborted after sensor fault; roof panel partially open or partially closed; dealer unable to replicate intermittent fault
A folding roof that stalls mid-cycle or fails to seal represents a substantial impairment of use on a $200,000+ convertible grand tourer — particularly if repeated repair attempts fail to resolve intermittent roof faults. Song-Beverly covers convertible roof mechanisms as integral warranted systems; two or more unsuccessful repair attempts for the same fault pattern may trigger eligibility.
Roof mechanism software recalibration or sensor replacement; hydraulic system inspection if actuator is implicated; may require multiple visits as intermittent faults are difficult to reproduce.

Every item below comes from this vehicle's documented defects. The more you recognize, the more a free case review is worth your time.
California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code §1790 et seq.) may provide remedies for GranTurismo owners with repeated unresolved defects. This is general information only — not legal advice; consult a qualified attorney (as of June 2026).
If Maserati or an authorized dealer cannot repair a warrantied defect after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer may be required to replace the vehicle or refund the full purchase price — including taxes, registration, and finance charges, minus a mileage offset.
Song-Beverly may apply to your GranTurismo when: the BCM fuel-gauge defect (24V679000) recurs after the recall remedy; either rearview camera recall (24V892000 or 25V098000) required two or more visits without a lasting fix; the MIA 2.0 touchscreen has frozen repeatedly despite dealer software updates; or the vehicle has been out of service 30+ cumulative days within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles for any warranty repairs combined.
California law also allows a willfulness penalty of up to two times actual damages if the manufacturer failed to promptly comply with a buyback or replacement request. The statute of limitations is generally four years from discovery of the defect.
“Could not duplicate” doesn't mean the defect isn't real. Here's exactly what to do to protect a potential California lemon-law claim.
Document the moment it happens. Photos, video, and screenshots of any warning lights — with the date and the mileage.
Get a repair order every visit — even “found nothing.” That paperwork is the foundation of a claim.
Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Note any recall that has no available remedy yet.
Track your out-of-service days. California law counts the cumulative days your vehicle spends in the shop.
Keep loaner & rental records. Alternate-transport paperwork during long repairs matters.
Save everything in one place. Symptoms, dates, repair orders, and every repeat visit — the intermittent ones especially.
Exotic-car dealers frequently log a Cannot Duplicate (CCD) when a fault is intermittent. If your GranTurismo comes back with a CCD notation, here is what to do:
1. Read the repair order before you leave. Confirm it says 'Cannot Duplicate' — not 'Tested OK.' Ask the advisor to document exactly what test was performed, the mileage, and the ambient temperature at the time. A vague CCD entry is weaker evidence; a specific one locks in the record.
2. Video the symptom the next time it occurs. A phone can capture a camera blackout or screen freeze in seconds. Email the clip to yourself immediately to create a timestamped record.
3. Request a loaner in writing each visit. Out-of-service days count toward Song-Beverly's 30-day threshold. Log every drop-off and pickup date with odometer readings.
4. Call Maserati at 1-877-696-2737 and open a formal case number before your second visit for the same symptom. Escalate to Maserati North America in writing. A manufacturer case number shows they had direct notice of the problem — critical for a willfulness argument.
5. For Recalls 24V679000, 24V892000, and 25V098000, confirm on the repair order that the recall was applied by VIN. If the symptom recurs after the fix, that recurrence is a new repair attempt for the same defect — exactly what the statute counts.
6. Save every document: repair orders, recall notices, rental receipts, and all dealer emails. Never sign a repair order that mischaracterizes the symptom you reported.
The 2023-2024 Maserati GranTurismo is a genuine technical achievement — the Nettuno engine's prechamber ignition architecture is the same technology that powers the MC20 race car, and the platform is all-new. But five federal safety recalls in the first two model years, two of them addressing the same backup camera system through different software root causes, signal a vehicle that was launched before its software stack was fully mature. The MIA 2.0 infotainment system's role in both camera failures underscores that software quality — not just mechanical quality — is the defining reliability risk for this generation of Maserati. California buyers who have experienced repeated dealer visits for any of these documented issues should carefully track their service history and consider whether the statutory thresholds have been met.
— The Margarian Law team
If your 2023-2024 GranTurismo has had two or more dealer visits for backup camera failure, infotainment freeze, engine stall, or any recurring defect — or 30+ days out of service — you may have rights under California lemon law. Margarian Law offers a free case review.
Two separate recalls address this exact symptom on the 2024 GranTurismo. Recall 24V892000 targets a software defect in the Central Vision Park Assist Module (CVPAM) that prevents the rearview image from appearing. Recall 25V098000 targets a different root cause in the radio software (part of the MIA 2.0 system) that also suppresses the camera feed. Both violate federal Rear Visibility Standard FMVSS 111. Your dealer must apply both software updates at no charge. If the camera blackout recurs after the recall fix, document the repeat visit — it may count toward California lemon-law eligibility. []
Yes, the California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to GranTurismos sold or leased in California. If Maserati or an authorized dealer cannot repair a warrantied defect after a reasonable number of attempts — or if the vehicle has been out of service 30 or more cumulative days for warranty repairs — you may be entitled to a vehicle replacement or full refund. The five federal recalls already issued against the 2024 GranTurismo (including two for backup camera failures and one for engine stall risk) demonstrate the manufacturer had notice of defects. Each unsuccessful repair attempt and each day out of service counts. This is general information, not legal advice; consult a qualified California lemon-law attorney. []
Yes. Recall 24V679000 (issued October 2024) covers 2024 GranTurismo and GranCabrio vehicles whose Body Control Module (BCM) software may display an incorrect fuel level, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving — a crash risk. Dealers update the BCM software at no charge. Owners may contact Maserati at 1-877-696-2737. If your GranTurismo stalled before you received the recall notice, or if the stall recurs after the BCM update, document those events carefully — recurring stall after a recall remedy is a strong lemon-law indicator. []
Yes. The MIA 2.0 infotainment system is covered under Maserati's new vehicle limited warranty. Additionally, Recall 25V098000 confirms that radio software defects in the same MIA 2.0 system can prevent the rearview camera from displaying — demonstrating that Maserati acknowledges software quality issues in the platform. If your dealer has attempted to fix the freeze issue more than once without a permanent result, or if the touchscreen malfunction forced multiple service visits, those visits count toward Song-Beverly's repair-attempt threshold. Keep every repair order, note the dates and mileage, and request that each attempt be logged even if the dealer cannot reproduce the fault that day. []
Save every dealer repair order (the paper you sign when you drop off the car and the final paperwork when you pick it up), every recall completion notice sent by Maserati, and any email or text with your service advisor. Log the exact drop-off and pickup dates and the odometer reading at each visit. If you rented a vehicle while yours was in the shop, keep those rental receipts — they document out-of-service days. Photograph or video any symptom you can capture on your phone and email it to yourself immediately so the timestamp is preserved. Under Song-Beverly, 30 cumulative out-of-service days within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles creates a presumption that a reasonable number of repair attempts has been made. Good documentation is the foundation of any California lemon-law claim.
Owner reports across the Maserati brand (Ghibli, Levante, Quattroporte) document chronic 12V battery drain where the vehicle fails to start after sitting unused for two to five days. The 2023-2024 GranTurismo shares a similar networked ECU architecture, and Recall 24V679000 confirms that BCM software — a key module governing electrical system behavior — is defective in the platform. If your GranTurismo has required jump-starts or battery replacement within the warranty period, that is a warrantied defect under Maserati's new vehicle warranty. If it has happened more than once, document each event with the dealer to build a service history that may support a lemon-law claim. []
