What's wrong?
The fuel delivery pipe on 2018 Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli vehicles carries gasoline through the engine compartment to the engine. It connects metal and plastic fuel-line sections, so the connection points have to seal tightly while the engine vibrates and heats up during normal driving.
On affected vehicles, chips on the metal fuel-line pipe end can interfere with the seal where that metal pipe connects to the plastic fuel line. The problem traces to a supplier process deviation in a specific batch of parts. If that connection does not seal correctly, fuel can leak from the fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment.
The warning sign is the MIL, or check engine light, turning on after the vehicle's OBDII evaporative-emissions leak check detects the leak. If that light appears, tell the Maserati dealer you are calling about fuel delivery pipe recall 17V834 and a fuel leak concern.
Who's affected?
Covers two Maserati sedan lines from the 2018 model year, both tied to the same fuel system component.
| 2018 Maserati Quattroporte | fuel system |
|---|---|

| Units affected | 1,405 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged 2 field incidents to date. |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific sedan.
What's the safety risk?
A fuel leak within the engine compartment increases the risk of a fire. The MIL engine warning light comes on when the OBDII EVAP diagnostic leak check is triggered, so schedule service promptly if that warning appears. Repair is free at any franchised Maserati dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018 Maserati Quattroporte or Ghibli is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Maserati dealer to schedule the free fuel delivery line kit that addresses the engine-compartment fuel pipe connection leak.
- Bring the recall notice if Maserati mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V834 and Maserati recall 363 when you call.
- Avoid unnecessary driving until the repair is complete because a fuel leak in the engine compartment raises the fire risk.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Maserati technician installs a new fuel delivery line kit to address the fuel delivery pipe connections in the engine compartment. The replacement parts and labor are covered under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected 2018 vehicles were covered by warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
