Common problems with the Fiat Panda

In the following overview, you will find the most common problems for the Fiat Panda, for which Fiat has announced a recall through the EU Rapex system.

If the problem is corrected in time, it may not affect the overall reliability of your Fiat Panda. However, the fault can often remain unresolved because the previous owner didn´t know about the recall or ignored the manufacturer’s letter.

The good news is that automakers usually provide unlimited time to correct such defects for free. Check to see if all of the potential problems with your Fiat Panda have been resolved in the past. How to do it, we give advice on a special page.
