Maserati recalls 28,000 cars because the radio plays with the camera

A software problem in the multimedia system means that backup could become a retro matter on models like the Greek, Levante, Quattroporte and MC20 sports car

Maserati announced a reminder due to a problem with his backup cameras. And I know what you think, the Maserati sales figures are so horrible that we can really speak only a handful of vehicles, right? But it turns out that non -insignificant vehicles of 27,354 are affected and require correction.

Strangely, the problem is not rooted in the camera itself, but with the radio. Yes, a software bug means that on -board radio can interfere with the signal from the backup camera, which causes the image that does not appear on the infotainment screen.

This could be a little annoying and ensure that the overthrow of a little more nervous consumption, especially on the sports cars MC20 2022-25, of which 717 are among the models affected by the Gremlins. These things do not have the best rear visibility, although you can always sit on the threshold with the door like the Countach drivers.

Other Maseratis taken in this recall include the MC20 Cielo Open (396 units), 2023-25 ​​Greek (8,021), 2024 Granturismo (751), 2024 Grancabrio (71), 2021-24 Levant (10,901), 2021-24 Ghibli (4,721) and 2021-24 Quattroporte (4 721).

The good news is that Maserati plans to solve the problem with a simple live software update (OTA) as far as possible, so that most owners will not even have to take their cars in the dealer. On cars where it is not possible, a trip to a service center is necessary because the software will be updated manually by a USB cable.

Maserati is not the only one to manage technological hiccups like this. Barely a few months ago, Hyundai had to recall around 226,000 vehicles for defective rescue cameras, and Jaguar Land Rover recently fell more than 30,000 models for a similar problem. In the middle of 2024, Stellantis recalled 1.16 million Jeep, Chrylser, Dodge and Ram models, again due to a problem with their reverse camera system and Tesla and Honda had problems with theirs.

Maserati himself published previous reminders for camera problems, more recently in November 2024, when the Park Assistance software proved to be interfering with the signal, but in this case, only 1,710 vehicles were assigned.

As cars become more complex and focused on software, these types of reminders become more common in industry, and they could become more problematic for drivers – and their insurance files – because car manufacturers like Jaguar and Polestar move to traditional rear rear window designs window.
