2021 ALFA ROMEO STELVIO Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio has 7 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 recalls address the side curtain airbags from different angles: in one case the airbag may not inflate properly in a crash, and in another a poorly secured clamp can allow the airbag cushion and inflator to separate, resulting in incomplete or failed deployment. Both leave occupants with less protection in a side impact. There is also a seatbelt buckle sensor that may be incorrectly connected, which can prevent the front airbag from deploying as intended. On the braking side, hard braking can cause a component inside the anti-lock brake system's hydraulic control unit to break apart, stripping away brake assist and ABS function and forcing the driver to press the pedal much harder to stop. The rearview camera rounds out the list, where a circuit board or software defect can cause the image to fail or display incorrectly, reducing visibility when backing up.
