Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Alfa Romeo 0814923 a recall?

No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the 0814923 repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Stellantis warranty extension on file lists the ones Stellantis has filed.

Which vehicles does 0814923 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale eAWD. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
