SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
- The defect
- 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.
- What it can cause
- The loss of braking assistance and ABS functionality can reduce overall braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 9 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Alfa Romeo vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 2 times before this, most recently in November 2020 as 20V714000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 89 complaints with NHTSA, 4 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2019, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V667000 (back over prevention), 25V586000 (fuel system, gasoline), 24V943000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 24V512000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
