718 Quattroportes being recalled
Maserati only recently started selling the new automatic transmission version of the Quattroporte sedan and now it's being recalled. Apparently there is a problem with the low voltage threshold for the traction control and stability control that causes it to shutdown prematurely when it thinks the battery is low. The software problem evidently doesn't affect the anti-lock brakes, which should continue to function normally. Only 718 cars are affected by the recall that requires a replacement of the electronic control unit, though considering the Quattroporte is a six-figure car, that number likely represents a decent portion of those on the road.

That bites, the QP is a really nice car. I actually prefer the Cambiocorsa over the Auto, it really gives ther car a more visceral edge.
Test Drove one then got back in 7series, hated 7 series! lol
