New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – 68A
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2017 through 2020 Model Year (GA) Alfa Romeo® Giulia QV and 2018 through 2020 Model Year (GU) Alfa Romeo
® Stelvio QV vehicles.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles equipped with carbon ceramic matrix brakes may have an independent electronic parking brake with a roll away prevention feature that can put excessive pressure on the brake rotor in certain circumstances. During certain driving maneuvers, the brake system may react with an excessive clamp force that fractures the rotor which decreases brake performance. An unexpected decrease in brake performance can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety on all affected vehicles to update the Brake System Module (BSM) software. 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 3rd Quarter of 2023.
Chronology :
- On October 19, 2022, the Stellantis Italy Customer Experience (“CX”) organization opened an investigation into the 2017-2020 MY Alfa Romeo
Giulia and 2018-2020 MY Alfa Romeo
Stelvio for fractured brake rotors.
- From October 2022, through May 2023, Stellantis Italy CX conducted an analysis of warranty claims and returned parts and determined the affected vehicles have a roll away prevention feature that can put excessive pressure on the carbon ceramic matrix brake rotor in certain circumstances.
- As of May 16, 2023, Stellantis Italy is aware of zero customer assistance records, 19 warranty claims, and zero field reports potentially related to this issue for all markets with dates of receipt ranging from August 3, 2018, to September 22, 2022.
