SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia and 2018-2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles equipped with carbon ceramic matrix brakes. During certain driving maneuvers, the brake system may exert an excessive clamp force that may fracture the rotor, decreasing the brake performance.
- What it can cause
- An unexpected decrease in brake performance increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the brake system module (BSM) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 20, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 68A.
- 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.nhtsa.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 719 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 55% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Alfa Romeo vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 3 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V309000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 431 complaints with NHTSA, 122 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the service brakes, hydraulic, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2017, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 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.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on May 30, 2023 as campaign 23V382000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
