| Suspension | 9.3% | |
| Exterior Lighting | 9.3% | |

How long a defect stays unadmitted
Campaign numbers encode the year they were announced, so we can measure how quickly Maserati acts once a defect exists.
| Measure | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Average gap | 1.5 years | Between the car being built and the defect being admitted |
| Admitted 5+ years later | 4.2% | Share of campaigns on cars already well used |
| Campaigns on record | 43 | Across 9 models, 1984–2025 |
Across all brands the average is 3.79 years. Faster is better, but a low figure can also mean a young line-up — read it next to the number of campaigns.
Maserati recalls by model

Check your own car
Maserati has 43 campaigns on record across 9 models, but none of them covers a whole model — only a production range inside it, sometimes a few weeks of assembly. So the 43 figure says nothing about any particular Maserati: decoding the VIN narrows those 43 down to the recalls for one model and year. Whether the free fix was already carried out on that exact car, NHTSA's own VIN lookup or any Maserati dealer can tell you.

| Check the repair status | NHTSA's own VIN lookup or a dealer shows if this car was fixed |
| Book at any franchised dealer | Recall work is free regardless of age, mileage or owner |

Frequently asked questions
How many recalls does Maserati have?
43 campaigns across 9 models. On its own the number reflects how many models a brand sells — the response time says more.
Is Maserati slow to admit defects?
On average a Maserati defect is admitted 1.5 years after the car was built, against about 3.79 years across all brands. 4.2% of campaigns come five years or later.
Does a recall mean the car is unsafe?
It means a specific fault was found in a specific production range and must be fixed free of charge. A brand with many campaigns is not automatically worse — sometimes it simply reports faster.
How do I check my own Maserati?
By VIN. Campaigns cover production ranges, so the model alone does not tell you whether your car is affected.
