What's wrong?
The main fuel delivery line on the 2016 Maserati Granturismo carries gasoline from the fuel system toward the engine. That line needs a protective galvanized coating, which helps the metal resist rust when it is exposed to water, road spray, and salt. The coating is part of how the line stays sealed during normal driving.
On affected Granturismo vehicles, the fuel line was installed without that galvanized treatment. Without the coating, the line is more exposed to corrosion, especially after winter driving on salted roads. As corrosion builds, the line can weaken and leak fuel. If leaked fuel reaches an ignition source, the fire risk increases.
The warning sign listed for this defect is visible evidence of corrosion. Owners who see rust or corrosion around the fuel delivery line should have the vehicle inspected by a Maserati dealer before continuing regular use.
