What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the power assist delivered by the steering rack may not be fully available while making extreme left hand turns for a prolonged period of time. An internal o-ring of the steering rack can become dislodged or dislocated causing a loss of power assist to the driver.
The risk
Such circumstances could lead to a reduction in vehicle control, which could result in a crash.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING RACK FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 3, 2006. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-[removed].
