What the defect is
On certain coupe and sedan passenger vehicles, the positioning of the power steering delivery hose can allow it to come into contact with part of the exhaust manifold.
What could happen
This could allow the delivery hose to leak power steering fluid onto the hot exhaust manifold and could cause a vehicle fire.
What gets fixed
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE POSITION OF THE POWER STEERING DELIVERY HOSE AND INSTALL A POSITIONING CLAMP. IF THE HOSE IS DAMAGED AND/OR CANNOT BE MOVED INTO THE PROPERLY ALIGNED POSITION, THE HOSE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 20, 2002.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 8 May 2002.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.
Manufacturer contact
Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact maserati at 1-877.696.2737.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
