May 4, 2021 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V309000
Rotor and Shaft May Separate Causing a Loss of ABS
The loss of braking assistance and ABS functionality can reduce overall braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V309
Manufacturer Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Components SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Potential Number of Units Affected 9
Summary
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Alfa Romeo
Stelvio and 2020-2021 Alfa Romeo
Giulia vehicles. 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.
Remedy
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.
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.
Check if your Vehicle has a Recall
New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Y24
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2020 and 2021 Model Year (GA) Alfa Romeo Giulia and 2019 through 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 an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) with a missing or partially missing weld of the rotor to the shaft of the brushless motor. During a hard braking maneuver, the ABS HCU rotor and shaft may separate, which could lead to a reduction in braking assistance and loss of ABS functionality. Full mechanical braking is still available. The loss of braking assistance and ABS functionality may reduce the overall braking performance which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the suspect ABS HCU. 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.
Revision (1) August 2021
Dealer Service Instructions for:
Safety Recall Y24 / NHTSA 21V-309 ABS Hydraulic Control Unit
NOTE: all VINs in this recall now have parts available.
Remedy Available
2020 – 2021 | (GA) | Alfa Romeo![]() |
2019 – 2021 | (GU) | Alfa Romeo![]() |
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 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) on about 9 of the above vehicles may have a missing or partially missing weld of the rotor to the shaft of the brushless motor. During a hard braking maneuver, the ABS HCU rotor and shaft may separate, which could lead to a reduction in braking assistance and loss of ABS functionality. Full mechanical braking is still available. The loss of braking assistance and ABS functionality may reduce the overall braking performance which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
Repair
Replace the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU).
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if the vehicle must be held overnight.
