The 2019 Fiat 124 Spider has 4 recalls, the most serious being a software error in the airbag control module that can cause the front airbags to deploy with too much force in a crash, raising the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
Two recalls involve the fuel system. The fuel delivery module can fail, causing the engine to run rough, refuse to start, or lose power without warning while driving. A separate recall covers a deformed impeller inside the fuel pump that can cause the pump to stop working entirely, stalling the engine in traffic. On the drivetrain side, vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission may experience an unexpected downshift due to a software error in the transmission control module, causing the car to abruptly slow down without any input from the driver, which can catch following traffic off guard.
