Maserati Quattroporte S Q4 (2015)

We hadden er twee jaar op moeten wachten, maar afgelopen zaterdag sneeuwde het dan eindelijk weer eens in Nederland. Gelijk op pad met de camera en het gure weer trotseren in de haven van Hoorn. Daar verscheen deze Quattroporte ineens in het winterse straatbeeld.

Hoorn, Nederland

We had to wait two years for it, but last Sunday it finally snowed again in The Netherlands. I grabbed my camera and went out and faced the inclement weather in the harbor of Hoorn. There this Quattroporte suddenly appeared in the winter street scene.

DEFECT #1 - AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY

Posted on: 2005-01-28
Description
Certain passenger vehicles have a non-functioning button with the words passenger air bag off etched into it.  This button is located, along with an led light, on a console adjacent to the sun roof.  This non-functioning button does not deactivate the passenger-side air bag, nor is the led light an indication that the passenger side air bag has been deactivated.  The button is non-functional and cannot be depressed when pushed.

Consequence
The placement of infants and small children in the front passenger seat could result in serious injury or death in the event of a crash in which the passenger-side air bag deploys.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the console with one which does not contain the non--functioning button and led light free of charge.  An interim notice was sent to owners during february 2005.  Owners were notified on october 6, 2005, that parts are available.  Owners may contact maserati at 1-201-816-2706.
