2017 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia has 14 recalls, the most serious involving a cruise control system that can become impossible to cancel, leaving the vehicle accelerating without the driver being able to intervene unless they brake or shift to neutral. Two overlapping engine recalls cover a catalytic converter that can overheat due to engine misfires, potentially damaging nearby wiring and creating a fire risk or stalling the engine. AWD-equipped vehicles face a separate fire hazard: a coolant hose clamp can rub through a brake fluid line in the engine compartment, allowing brake fluid to drip onto the hot exhaust. On the fuel side, the fuel delivery module or fuel pump can fail and cut engine power while driving. There is also a seat airbag concern: a faulty connector in the driver or passenger seatbelt buckle sensor can cause the side airbag to deploy with more force than intended in a crash. Vehicles equipped with carbon ceramic matrix brakes have a recall where the brake system can clamp too hard during certain maneuvers, fracturing the rotor and sharply reducing stopping ability. Three recalls address incorrect tire pressure and size information on the placard label, which can lead to improper inflation or the wrong tires being fitted.
