RECALL: 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUVs For Incorrect Tire Placard
Stellantis Recalls 204 Stelvio Units For Compliance with FMVSS No. 110...
Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 204 units of its 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles that were previously remedied under NHTSA recall number 24V-512. The tire size information on the tire placard is incorrect, and as such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, “Tire Selection and Rims.”
Incorrect tire information can result in installing the incorrect-size tires, increasing the risk of a crash.
The suspect period began on September 3, 2022, when the first vehicle with the incorrect remedy applied was produced and ended on May 8, 2023, when the last vehicle with the incorrect remedy applied was produced. Vehicle production and recall remedy records were used to determine the suspect period.
Similar vehicles not included in this recall were built before or after the suspect period or were properly remedied under campaign 81B.
