Suspension:rear
Problem: Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo, and 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C vehicles. The rear tie rod assemblies may have insufficient anti-corrosion material applied, allowing them to weaken and possibly fail.
Risk: Failure of the tie rods may result in a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Maserati will notify owners and dealers will replace the tie rod assemblies. The recall began on June 27, 2013. Customers may contact Maserati at 1-877-696-2737. Maserati's recall campaign number is 205.
Suspension:front:control arm:lower ball joint
Problem: Maserati is recalling 7,912 my 2008 gran turismo, quattroporte, and alfa romeo vehicles. Incorrectly torqued upper and lower ball joint nuts may cause the ball joint nuts to loosen.
Risk: In time, this could lead to noise, steering wheel vibration, and failure of the ball joint stud resulting in damage or separation of the suspension arm. This could result in a loss of steering capability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TORQUE OF THE FRONT/REAR UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINT NUTS AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE SUSPENSION ARMS AND HUB CARRIER. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING FEBRUARY 2009. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737.

An internal o-ring of the steering rack can become dislodged or dislocated causing a loss of power assist to the driver.
