The backup camera may not display correctly due to—a radio software issue? What the heck?
- Maserati is recalling more than 30,000 newer cars and SUVs in North America
- The vehicles’ backup cameras may not display correctly due to a radio software issue
- Because these are 2021-and-newer cars, the remedy is an over-the-air update
According to a recall report submitted to the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA), Maserati notes some vehicles may have radio software that prevents the media screen from getting a signal from the backup camera. If the rearview camera isn’t working correctly, it could reduce the driver’s visibility when backing up, and lead to a possible crash. And really, who’s trying to crash a Maserati?
The affected vehicles include:
- 2021-2024 Maserati Ghibli
- 2021-2024 Maserati Levante
- 2021-2024 Maserati Quattroporte
- 2022-2024 Maserati MC20
- 2023-2025 Maserati Grecale
- 2024 Maserati GranCabrio
- 2024 Maserati GranTurismo
In Canada, the law regulates that all vehicles since May 2018 are required to have a working backup camera. Owners of affected Masers will be notified by mail, and an over-the-air update will be sent out; alternatively, owners can take their vehicle to a Maserati dealership to have the update performed in person via a USB cable, free of charge.
