March 1, 2019 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V148000

Adaptive Cruse Control May Fail To Deactivate

The driver’s inability to deactivate the ACC can increase the risk of crash.

NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V148

Manufacturer Chrysler (FCA US LLC)

Components FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Potential Number of Units Affected 19,114

Summary

FCA US LLC (Alfa Romeo) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio and 2017-2019 Giulia vehicles. The Brake System Module (BSM) software may prevent the driver from disabling the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) after the traction control system detects a specific wheel slip.

Remedy

Alfa Romeo has notified owners, and dealers will update the BSM software, free of charge. The recall began March 25, 2019. Owners may contact Alfa Romeo customer service 1-800-853-1403. The Alfa Romeo number for this recall is V27.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Revised June 2019

Dealer Service Instructions for:

Safety Recall V27 / NHTSA 19V-148
Adaptive Cruise Control

NOTE: Procedure F reinstated and inspect only LOP reinstated.

Remedy Available

NOTE: This recall applies only to the above vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control (sales code NH3).

NOTE: Some vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall.

IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.

Subject

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on about 19,100 of the above vehicles may not allow cancelation of the ACC in specific driving conditions. In certain circumstances while ACC is active and the traction control detects a specific wheel slip, it is possible for a positive torque request to be locked by the Brake System Module (BSM) which may result in unexpected acceleration. If the driver does not shift to neutral or apply firm, sustained brake-pedal application to deactivate the ACC, this condition can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning

Repair

Update the Antilock Brake System (ABS) module / BSM software.

NOTE: Some vehicles may require up to three separate software flashes.

NOTE: The ABS module icon within the wiTECH topology screen may NOT display a lightning bolt. Absence of lightning bolt does NOT indicate there is no flash available. Flash may still be available even in the absence of a lightning bolt. Pages 4 and 5 of Service Procedure MUST be followed to inspect hardware/software level and determine appropriate flash procedure.

Parts Information

No parts are required to perform this service procedure.

Parts Return

No parts return required for this campaign.

Special Tools

The following special tools are required to perform this repair:

➢ NPN	wiTECH micro pod II
➢ NPN	Laptop Computer
➢ NPN	wiTECH Software

Service Procedure

NOTE: Before beginning, check if the vehicle is involved in any previously issued open safety campaigns and complete those before continuing.

CAUTION: If this is an unsold vehicle, before beginning the service procedure, deactivate the vehicle shipping/transportation mode.

NOTE: The wiTECH scan tool must be used to perform this recall. If the reprogramming flash for the Antilock Brake System (ABS) module / BSM is aborted or interrupted, repeat the procedure.

Open the hood and install a battery charger. Verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.

NOTE: Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt meter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

Adaptive Cruise Control

Dear [Name],

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

FCA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain [2017 – 2019 Model Year (GA) Alfa Romeo Giulia and 2018 – 2019 Model Year (GU) Alfa Romeo Stelvio] vehicles equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.

WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?

The ACC on your vehicle ^[1] may not allow cancelation of the ACC in specific driving conditions. In certain circumstances while ACC is active and the traction control detects a specific wheel slip, it is possible for a positive torque request to be locked by the Brake System Module (BSM) which may result in unexpected acceleration. If the driver does not shift to neutral or apply firm, sustained brake-pedal application to deactivate the ACC, this condition can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.

HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?

FCA will repair your vehicle ^[2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will update the BSM software of affected vehicles to eliminate a positive torque request lock. The estimated repair time is 30 minutes. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.

TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR ALFA ROMEO DEALER TODAY

WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?

If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online.^[3] Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
