What can fail
The brake pedal may fail during braking, preventing you from applying the brakes.
What the fix does
A dealership will reinforce the brake pedal arm to restore proper braking function.
The 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale has 9 recalls, the most serious being a brake pedal that can collapse and cause a complete loss of braking while driving, and a separate fire risk on plug-in hybrid models where loose battery cable connections can overheat and ignite while parked or driving.
The brake pedal issue affects both standard and plug-in hybrid trims and has been the subject of multiple filings covering overlapping model years, reflecting the breadth of the concern. On the visibility side, the rearview camera display can fail to show an image when reversing, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle. Plug-in hybrid models have two additional concerns: the pedestrian alert siren may be missing or disconnected, leaving the vehicle silent at low speeds when backing up, and the tire placard label may carry an incorrect maximum load capacity, which could lead to overloading. There are also two label recalls affecting certain vehicles where the manufacturer label is missing tire and rim size information, and where the maximum vehicle capacity weight is listed incorrectly.
