The 2024 Fiat 500E has 3 recalls, the most serious being a faulty seatbelt buckle sensor connection that can prevent the front airbag from deploying in a crash, leaving the driver or passenger with less protection when they need it most.
The remaining two recalls both describe the same headlight issue: the horizontal aim adjustment on certain vehicles is not properly covered, which means the headlights can be moved out of their correct position. A headlight aimed too low reduces how far the driver can see at night, while one aimed too high can blind oncoming drivers. A fix covers the adjuster opening to prevent unintended movement.
