Maserati GranTurismo Lemon Law

The redesigned GranTurismo (and its GranCabrio convertible) launched for 2023–2024 with a heavily software-controlled architecture, and one of its most serious defects is a body control module (BCM) software fault. Maserati recalled GranTurismo and GranCabrio models because the BCM could display an incorrect fuel level on the digital cluster, which can lead to an unexpected engine stall while driving — a clear safety hazard corrected by a software update at the dealer.

The GranTurismo has also been caught up in Maserati's rearview-camera recalls, in which a Central Vision Park Assist Module (CVPAM) or infotainment software fault can prevent the backup camera image from appearing when the car is shifted into reverse. Owners additionally report frozen screens, connectivity dropouts, warning lights, and 12-volt battery drain typical of this electronics-dense platform.

The GranTurismo is also sold as the all-electric Folgore, which adds a tri-motor drivetrain, a high-voltage battery, and charging hardware — more systems that can fault with drive-power warnings or charging failures. When a software update or dealer repair doesn't hold, the same defect keeps returning, or the car sits waiting on parts, California's Lemon Law may entitle you to a buyback or replacement.

A recall is not automatically a lemon — it's the manufacturer acknowledging a defect and offering a free repair. California's Lemon Law (the Song-Beverly Act) comes into play when a substantial defect can't be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, or when your GranTurismo has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days.

If your Maserati GranTurismo qualifies, you may be entitled to a buyback (a refund of what you've paid, minus a mileage offset), a replacement vehicle, or a cash-and-keep settlement — and Maserati pays your attorney fees on a successful claim, so pursuing your case costs you nothing out of pocket.
