New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Y15
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2021 Model Year (GU) Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles.
VINs identified as being involved in this campaign are currently live and searchable. Stop sale is in effect for the above-identified vehicles.
Vehicles impacted by a stop sale are eligible for reimbursement allowance through the Recall Floorplan Reimbursement Policy (RFPRP), which can be requested upon recall claim submission.
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. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles may have been built with a Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) assembly with an improperly crimped clamp. A damaged SABIC clamp may allow the cushion and inflator to separate during a SABIC deployment. Separation of the cushion and inflator could potentially result in an incomplete deployment or a nondeployment of the air bag which can reduce occupant protection in the event of a crash, resulting in an increased risk of injury to motor vehicle occupants.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the SABIC assembly. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 2nd Quarter of 2021.
We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries regarding involved vehicles.

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.

Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) assembly on about 1,200 of the above vehicles may have been built with an improperly crimped clamp. A damaged SABIC clamp may allow the cushion and inflator to separate during a SABIC deployment. An incomplete deployment or non-deployment of the side curtain air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Repair
Replace both side curtain air bags.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if the vehicle must be held overnight.

Service Procedure
A. Side Curtain Air Bag Removal
- Move both front seats to the forward end of travel position, fully recline both front seat backs, lower the rear seat backrests down, and ensure the lift gate is open before disconnecting the battery.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with air bags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any side curtain air bag service. Disconnect the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS)/negative battery cable assembly from the negative battery post, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental air bag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, use extreme care to prevent any foreign material from entering the side curtain air bag, or becoming entrapped between the side curtain air bag cushion and the headliner. Failure to observe this warning could result in occupant injuries upon air bag deployment.

If the air bag unit is placed on a bench or any other surface, the air bag cushion side of the unit should be facing such as to minimize movement in the event of an accidental deployment.
All damaged, ineffective or non-deployed air bags which are replaced on vehicles are to be handled and disposed of properly. If an air bag or seat belt tensioner unit is non-deployed, refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for information regarding the potentially hazardous properties of the subject component and the proper safe handling procedures. Then dispose of all non-deployed and deployed air bags and seat belt tensioners in a manner consistent with state, provincial, local and federal regulations.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Side Curtain Air Bag
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 [2021
Model Year (GU) Alfa Romeo Stelvio] vehicles.
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 Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) assembly on your vehicle [1] may have been built
with an improperly crimped clamp. A damaged SABIC clamp may allow the cushion and
inflator to separate during a SABIC deployment. An incomplete deployment or nondeployment
of the side curtain air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a
crash.
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 replace the SABIC assembly. The estimated repair time is two hours. 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.

New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Y15
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2021 Model Year (GU) Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles.
VINs identified as being involved in this campaign are currently live and searchable. Stop sale is in effect for the above-identified vehicles.
Vehicles impacted by a stop sale are eligible for reimbursement allowance through the Recall Floorplan Reimbursement Policy (RFPRP), which can be requested upon recall claim submission.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles may have been built with a Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) assembly with an improperly crimped clamp. A damaged SABIC clamp may allow the cushion and inflator to separate during a SABIC deployment.
