What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationhe purpose of this communication is to inform Maserati dealers that, in certain vehicle functions deactivated at the next Key-On after Key-Off cycle, normal behavior may be misinterpreted as a fault. Beginning with BCM software release 19.2 (March 2024), the Load Shed Function was introduced. This system is not a malfunction but an intentional feature that manages the 12V battery State of Charge by temporarily disabling or limiting non-essential functions. The goal is to reduce unnecessary discharge and preserve battery health. Examples include: • A/C system • Heated seats / heated steering wheel • Mirror and rear window defroster • Interior lights / ambient lights • Head-up display • Easy entry/exit

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Maserati MAS004817 MTB 25-34 a recall?
No. A manufacturer communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the MAS004817 MTB 25-34 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does MAS004817 MTB 25-34 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 20 model years: 2024 Maserati GranTurismo, 2019 Maserati GranTurismo, 2018 Maserati GranTurismo, 2017 Maserati GranTurismo, 2016 Maserati GranTurismo, 2025 Maserati Grancabrio and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
