Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio: Increased risk of accident due to brake defect

29/07/2023

Alfa Romeo is recalling 1,452 Giulia and Stelvio from the model years 2016 to 2021. The reason for the recall is an excessive clamping force of the parking brake due to a fault in the brake system module. This can cause the carbon-ceramic brake disc to break, increasing the risk of an accident.

The software of the brake system module (BSM) is updated in the workshop. The KBA monitors the recall under the reference number “012895“, and the manufacturer’s internal code is “6637“.
