Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 342 is the number Maserati assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 17V046000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is 342 the same recall as 17V046000?

Yes. 342 is Maserati’s own number for it; 17V046000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does 342 cover?

2016–2017 Maserati Ghibli and 2 other Maserati models, 39,381 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 342 repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
