The 2019 Fiat 124 Spider has 4 recalls, with the most serious being a software error in the airbag control module that can cause the front airbags to deploy with excessive force in a crash, raising the risk of injury to the occupant.
Two separate fuel system issues also affect this vehicle. The fuel delivery module can fail, causing the engine to run rough, refuse to start, or suddenly lose power while driving. A related issue involves the fuel pump's internal impeller, which can deform and cause the pump to fail, stalling the engine without warning. On the drivetrain side, automatic transmission models have a control module programming error that can trigger an unexpected downshift, causing the car to abruptly slow down and increasing the risk of a rear-end collision.
