What's wrong?
On these 2021-2022 Maserati Ghibli, Quattroporte, Levante, and MC20 vehicles, the recalled part is the fuel line sensor housing in the engine compartment fuel pipes. The housing holds the pressure temperature sensor, which helps the fuel system read conditions in the fuel line while fuel is delivered to the engine. It also has to keep that fuel sealed inside the line.
The problem is that the sensor housing is at risk of cracking and leaking fuel. Maserati describes the repair part as properly molded, which points to a molding difference in the recalled housing. When the housing cracks while the engine is running, fuel escapes from the fuel line instead of staying contained in the engine compartment fuel pipes.
Vehicle occupants can notice a fuel smell while the engine is running. Reduced vehicle performance is also a warning sign tied to this defect.

Spans Ghibli, Quattroporte, Levante, and MC20 vehicles across the 2021 and 2022 model years, tied to the pressure temperature sensor and engine compartment fuel pipes.
