The defect

Due to an incorrect carcass component, the affected tires may develop cracks in their lower sidewall, possibly resulting in a loss of air.
The risk
A loss of air may result in tire failure or a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Pirelli will notify Maserati owners and the dealers that purchased the tires as replacements. Pirelli will work with Maserati to replace the tires, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2016. Owners may contact Pirelli customer service at 1-706-368-5800.
