When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2009 Maserati Quattroporte
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 201128838 units in Canada
Suspension
On certain vehicles, the rear suspension tie rods (for alignment toe adjustment) may fatigue and fail. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear suspension tie rods and perform a wheel alignment.
Recall 200909039 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
On certain vehicles, faulty instrument cluster control module software may not allow the seatbelt buckle alarm to activate in the event the vehicle is operated with an unbelted driver and/or passenger seat occupants. Failure to remind the seat occupants to buckle-up would increase the risk of personal injuries or death during a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will install updated instrument cluster control module software.
