The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio has 8 recalls, the most serious being a fuel line sensor housing that can crack and leak fuel, raising the risk of an engine stall or a fire near an ignition source.
Two separate recalls address the side curtain airbags: in one, the curtains may not inflate properly in a crash, and in another, a poorly crimped clamp can cause the cushion and inflator to separate, resulting in incomplete or no deployment. A third airbag concern involves a seatbelt buckle sensor that may be improperly connected, which can prevent the front airbag from deploying in a crash. On the brake side, hard braking can cause a component inside the anti-lock brake system's hydraulic control unit to separate, stripping away brake assist and ABS function and requiring significantly more pedal force to stop the vehicle. The rearview camera can also fail to display a proper image when reversing, reducing visibility behind the vehicle. Rounding out the list, the tire placard on certain vehicles shows incorrect pressure and size information, which can lead to underinflated tires or the wrong tire being fitted.
