The company said this weekend that the threaded ends of the rear tie rods could rust and fail due to "insufficiently applied zinc-nickel anti-corrosion compound material.

"Failure of the tie rods may result in a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash," said Maserati according to the NHTSA report.

Maserati will replace the tie rod assemblies on all affected vehicles free of charge beginning towards the end of June.
