8 recalls across 10 model years
The Fiat 500X has 8 recalls covering 2016 through 2023, with the most serious being a front airbag issue on 2019–2023 models where an improperly connected seat belt buckle sensor can prevent the front airbag from deploying in a crash.
On 2019 models, there are two related restraint system concerns: the airbag control module can be programmed incorrectly, and a separate software issue can cause the same module to disable airbags and seat belt pretensioners entirely, leaving occupants without crash protection. The 2020 model year has a right rear brake caliper that can crack during manufacturing and fail in service, reducing braking performance. Going back to 2018, a wiring issue in the engine compartment can cause the vehicle to stall unexpectedly, raising the risk of a crash.
The 2017 model year has a tire pressure monitoring system that can fail to illuminate the warning light when a tire is underinflated, leaving the driver unaware of a condition that can lead to tire failure. The 2016 model, equipped with the 9-speed automatic transmission, has a transmission wire harness crimp issue that can cause the transmission to shift unexpectedly into neutral while driving.
