Common problems reported by 2019 Maserati Levante owners, with recommended fixes and estimated repair costs.

1

Electrical System Faults and Random Warning Lights

The Levante suffers from frequent electrical system faults that trigger a cascade of warning lights on the dashboard, including check engine, traction control, ABS, and parking sensor warnings. The body control module loses communication with subsystems intermittently, and the vehicle may enter limp mode. The electrical architecture, shared partly with the Giulia/Stelvio platform, is a persistent source of complaints.

Solution

A comprehensive software update of all electronic modules using the Maserati diagnostic system is the first step. If specific modules are failing, they must be replaced and coded to the vehicle. The ground straps and body harness connectors should be inspected for corrosion. Maserati TSB M150-18 addresses cascading electrical fault diagnosis.

Est. Cost: $0 - $500 (software updates) / $1,000 - $3,500 (module replacement)
2

Maserati Touch Control Plus Infotainment Freezing

The Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) 8.4-inch infotainment system, based on the FCA Uconnect platform, freezes, reboots, and exhibits touchscreen lag. Navigation routing fails, Apple CarPlay disconnects, and the system takes excessively long to boot on cold starts. The screen may display a frozen Maserati logo on startup and never progress to the home screen.

Solution

A hard reset (holding the power and volume buttons) can temporarily resolve freezes. A dealer software reflash with the latest MTC+ firmware is needed for persistent issues. If the infotainment module hardware has failed, it must be replaced. Maserati has released multiple firmware updates to improve system stability.

Est. Cost: $0 (reset/software) / $1,500 - $3,500 (module replacement)
3

Air Suspension Compressor and Valve Block Failure

The Levante's electronically controlled air suspension system experiences compressor overheating and valve block failures. The vehicle sags on one or more corners, and a 'Suspension Fault' warning appears. The compressor runs continuously trying to compensate for air leaks, leading to premature burnout. The issue is accelerated by frequent use of the raised off-road ride height setting.

Solution

Replace the air suspension compressor and valve block assembly. All four air struts should be tested for leaks before installing a new compressor. The air dryer must be replaced with the compressor. A full system leak-down test and calibration using the Maserati diagnostic tool is required after repair.

Est. Cost: $2,000 - $4,000 (compressor and valve block) / $2,500 - $4,500 per strut
4

Turbo V6 Wastegate Rattle and Exhaust Manifold Crack

The 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine (shared with Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio applications) develops a wastegate rattle on cold start that persists for 15-30 seconds. Additionally, the exhaust manifolds can develop hairline cracks at the cylinder-to-manifold flange, causing a ticking noise that increases with engine RPM and an exhaust smell in the cabin from the engine bay.

Solution

Replace the wastegate actuators if the rattle is excessive. If the exhaust manifolds have cracked, they must be replaced — welding is not a reliable long-term repair due to the heat cycling. The turbocharger assemblies should be inspected for shaft play during the manifold replacement. Maserati released revised manifold castings for later production.

Est. Cost: $500 - $1,200 (wastegate actuators) / $2,000 - $5,000 (exhaust manifold replacement per side)
5

Electronic Parking Brake and Brake-by-Wire Issues

The electronic parking brake (EPB) fails to engage or release, displaying a 'Parking Brake Fault' message. The brake-by-wire system can also develop sensor issues that cause inconsistent brake pedal feel, and the auto-hold feature may activate or release unexpectedly. In some cases, the parking brake engages while the vehicle is still in motion at low speed.

Solution

Replace the electronic parking brake caliper actuators if the motors have failed. A software update to the brake control module addresses many auto-hold and parking brake logic issues. The brake pedal position sensor should be recalibrated using the Maserati diagnostic tool. Maserati recall 18V-593 covers certain EPB actuator failures.

Est. Cost: $0 (recall/software) / $800 - $2,000 per caliper actuator

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Campaign: 19V521000 Date: 11/07/2019

Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain 2019 Levante vehicles equipped with full LED headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFLS).

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence

Affecting the visibility of oncoming traffic can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will adjust the headlights, free of charge. The recall began August 20, 2019. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 387.
