What's wrong?
The passenger-side door latch on the 2016 Maserati Granturismo is the locking hardware that keeps the door closed against the body. It is built to hold normal closing force and the heavier side loads a door can see in a crash. Heat treatment hardens the latch components so they have the strength and durability needed for that job.
On affected vehicles, some passenger-side latch components were not heat treated even though the supplier labeled them as heat treated. Without that hardening step, the latch hardware does not have the intended strength. If the passenger door is loaded during a crash, the latch components can fail and the door can open, increasing injury risk for the passenger.
There is no warning sign before failure. The door can open and close normally during daily use, so a normal latch feel does not confirm that the correct part is installed.
