2017 FIAT 124 SPIDER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider has 3 recalls, the most serious being airbags that can deploy with excessive force in a crash, raising the risk of injury to front-seat occupants. This airbag software issue is covered by two filings; one of them only affects 124 Spider Abarth performance models. On the drivetrain side, vehicles with automatic transmissions have a recall for a transmission control module that can trigger an unexpected downshift, causing the car to decelerate abruptly and raising the risk of a rear-end collision.
