The lighting, warning system, power steering and brake assist can all fail in Alfa Romeo Tonale due to faulty wiring under the vehicle’s floor. There is a risk of a crash with 607 cars manufactured between September 2022 and February 2023.
Citroens C5 X could leave the production line in the second half of 2021 with an inadequately tightened left front wheel.
