Recalls: Alfa Romeo Stelvio
2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: vehicle jack did not comply with labelling requirement
In November 2018, recall campaign 8234 was issued for 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles. For these vehicles, the label on the jack did not comply with the relevant Consumer Product Safety Standard because it was missing some of the required information. As such, the occupant may misuse the jack and this posed a risk of serious injury or death. For the VINs of the recalled Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17174.
2018-19 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: Adaptive Cruise Control may not deactivate
In March 2019, recall campaign 8238 was issued for Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles that had Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) were available for sale in Australia prior to 4 March 2019. In specific driving conditions, it may not be possible to cancel the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). As such, the vehicle may continue accelerate notwithstanding that the driver had applied the brakes – this posed a hazard to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, the vehicle was to have its ACC software updated. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17415.
2017-19 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: inaccurate fuel reading
In August 2019, recall campaign 8242 was issued for Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles that were available for sale from 20 January 2017 to 29 July 2019. In these vehicles, the instrument panel may show more fuel than what is actually present in the fuel tank. If the vehicle were to run out of fuel, the engine would shut down – this would increase the risk of a collision and pose a hazard to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17721.
2020-21 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: fuel sensor housing may crack
In January 2022, recall campaign 6396 was issued for 2020-21 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the fuel sensor housing may crack and cause a fuel leak. If a fuel leak occurred, it could result in a loss of motive power while driving. Separately, if fuel came into contact with an ignition source, it may result in a vehicle fire. These circumstances could increase the risk of a collision, injury or damage to property. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005038.
2020-22 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: Adaptive Light System sensors
In April 2022, recall campaign 6439 was issued for 2020-22 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, teh automatic Adaptive Light System (AFS) sensors may not adjust as intended when there was a change in load or load distribution on the vehicle. If the vehicle headlights did not operate as intended, it could increase the risk of a collision and, therefore, the risk of injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, the automatic headlight position sensors were to be recalibrated and headlights aligned. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005416.
2017-20 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio: electronic parking brake malfunction
In July 2023, recall campaign 6637 was issued for 2017-20 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio vehicles. Vehicles equipped with carbon ceramic-matrix brakes may have an independent electronic parking brake with a roll away prevention feature which – in extreme circumstances – could put excessive pressure on the brake rotor. This could damage the brake rotor and cause an unexpected reduction in braking performance, thereby increasing the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and/or other road users. To fix, the vehicle’s software was to be updated (at no cost). For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005707.
