2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale

The 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale has 6 recalls, the most serious affecting plug-in hybrid models where a loosely connected 12-volt battery cable or high-voltage connector cable can overheat and start a fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven.

The remaining recalls span visibility, labeling, and pedestrian safety. On the visibility side, a software fault can prevent the daytime running lights from activating, making the car harder for other drivers to spot in low-contrast conditions. The rearview camera can also fail to display an image when backing up, leaving the driver without any view of what is directly behind the vehicle. These two issues may affect different subsets of vehicles, though both raise the risk of a collision.

Two recalls address the same mislabeled tire and loading information placard, where the printed maximum vehicle capacity weight is incorrect. An owner relying on that label could unknowingly overload the vehicle, which puts excess stress on the tires and makes the car harder to control, especially in emergency maneuvers. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this label issue across all affected vehicles, which is why more than one filing exists.

Rounding out the list, plug-in hybrid models may also have a pedestrian alert siren that is missing or disconnected. At low speeds, these vehicles run silently on electric power, and without the siren, pedestrians near the rear of the vehicle have no audible warning when it is reversing.
