BCM Software Issue Affecting 2024 Maserati GranCabrio and GranTurismo Vehicles

Some 2024 Maserati GranCabrio and 2024 Maserati GranTurismo vehicles may have been built with Body Control Module (BCM) software that could indicate an incorrect fuel level on the instrument panel cluster. The problem could result in an unexpected engine stall while driving.

The issue first came to Maserati's attention in July 2023 when a claim was filed about a vehicle showing an inaccurate fuel level. The vehicle’s instrument panel indicated that the fuel tank was still one-quarter full, but the tank was actually empty. Following this report, Maserati launched an internal investigation, leading them to identify a BCM software problem in some of their 2024 models.

The root cause was traced back to faulty software introduced into vehicle production on November 20, 2022. This software caused incorrect fuel level readings, misleading drivers about how much fuel remained in the tank. As a result, vehicles built during the suspect period are at risk of running out of fuel unexpectedly, which could cause the engine to stall while driving.

The affected vehicles are limited to some 2024 Maserati GranCabrio and GranTurismo models manufactured between November 20, 2022, and July 4, 2024, when the BCM software issue was corrected in production. Maserati’s review of production records helped pinpoint this time frame. Vehicles built before or after these dates, or those that received the updated software during production, are not impacted by the recall.

To remedy the problem, Maserati will be updating the BCM software in the affected vehicles. Maserati’s internal recall number for this issue is 749, and it is listed under the NHTSA campaign number 24V-679.

This recall underscores the importance of accurate fuel level indicators for vehicle safety, especially in high-performance models like the GranCabrio and GranTurismo. Maserati is taking steps to ensure that drivers of these luxury cars can continue to enjoy their vehicles without unexpected interruptions due to fuel level misreadings.
