Alfa Romeo bulletin 9100229
Alfa Romeo filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 20, 2023, received Oct 30, 2023, about the suspension. It names 23 model years (2016–2024). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5; the full text comes from the manufacturer or a dealer. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. Quote it at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Alfa Romeo 9100229 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 9100229 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.
Which vehicles does 9100229 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 23 model years: 2020 Alfa Romeo 4C, 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C, 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C, 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C, 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C, 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
