2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio recalls & complaints

1. Fuel system

What's wrong, in plain English: Fuel lines, tank or pump. Fuel problems usually mean a leak, and leaks mean fire risk. The fuel line sensor housing may crack and leak fuel.

What could happen: A fuel leak may cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. A fuel leak also increases the risk of fire in the presence of an ignition source.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel line sensor housing, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 11, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Y91.

What to do

1. Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2021 STELVIO.
2. Book a repair at any authorized Alfa Romeo dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 21V878000 (manufacturer code Y91).
3. The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
4. Manufacturer hotline: 1-800-853-1403.
5. Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.

2. Brakes

What's wrong, in plain English: Anything that slows the car down. Treat brake recalls as urgent. Hard braking may cause the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) rotor shaft to separate, a reduction of braking assist, and a loss of ABS.

What could happen: The loss of braking assistance and ABS functionality can reduce overall braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the ABS HCU, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 29, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

3. Airbags

What's wrong, in plain English: The airbag system — the part that is supposed to protect you in a crash. An improperly crimped clamp may allow the side curtain air bag cushion and inflator to separate, causing an incomplete deployment or preventing the deployment of the air bag.

What could happen: An incomplete deployment or non-deployment of the side curtain air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side air bag inflatable curtain assembly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin May 19, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is Y15.

4. Equipment

What's wrong, in plain English: A part or accessory supplied with the vehicle. The tire pressure and size information on the tire placard and manufacturer labels are incorrect. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

What could happen: Incorrect tire information can result in under-inflated tires or installing the incorrect-size tires, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: FCA will mail corrected tire placards and manufacturer overlay labels. Owners may bring the labels into a dealer for free installation. Some interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed August 27, 2024. Owner notification letters were mailed August 5, 2024 through November 1, 2024.…

5. Airbags

What's wrong, in plain English: The airbag system — the part that is supposed to protect you in a crash. A seat belt buckle switch sensor may be improperly connected, preventing the front seat air bag from deploying as intended.

What could happen: A front seat air bag that does not deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

6. Backup camera

What's wrong, in plain English: The rear camera may not show an image when reversing. The printed circuit board and software for the rearview camera may contain defects that cause the rearview camera image not to display properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

What could happen: A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the radio, as necessary. In addition, dealers will update the rearview camera software, as necessary. All repairs will be performed free of charge.
