The 2002 Maserati Spyder has 5 recalls, the most serious involving two separate fire risks: power steering fluid can leak onto the hot exhaust manifold, and deteriorating fuel lines can disconnect from their fittings and leak fuel into the engine compartment.
On the steering side, two of the four bolts holding the steering assembly in place may have been installed without thread-locking compound, which means they can work loose under hard driving and leave the driver with reduced or no steering control.
