What's wrong?
The rear tail light on the 2022 Maserati MC20 contains the brake light that tells drivers behind you when the car is slowing or stopped. Inside the lamp is a printed circuit board, a small electronic panel that controls power to the lights. A MOSFET transistor on that board works like an electronic switch for the brake light circuit.
On affected MC20 vehicles, the rear tail light assembly was built with an alternate MOSFET transistor. Under certain braking conditions, that transistor does not hold the brake light output steady. The result is brake lights that flicker unintentionally instead of giving a clear, steady signal, which is why the recall cites the federal lighting standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver does not get a reliable in-cabin cue that the rear brake lights are flickering, so the problem is tied to the lamp assembly itself, not pedal feel or braking performance.
Who's affected?
Both listed lighting components point to the same right rear taillight part.

What's the safety risk?
If your brake lights flicker, drivers behind you can misread when you are braking, which can increase the risk of a crash. Schedule the tail light inspection and any needed replacement. Repair is free at any franchised Maserati dealer.
What should I do?

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Maserati technician inspects the rear tail lights and replaces faulty tail lights if the inspection shows they need replacement. The recall covers parts and labor, so the dealer repair is free. If you already paid for a related tail light or brake light repair before the recall notice, Maserati asks for the original receipt or other proof of payment so it can confirm the expense under its reimbursement policy.
