Stellantis bulletin S2509000008
What it saysCustomer Indicates Reduced Power And Malfunction Indication Light (MIL) on. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Stellantis filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Aug 13, 2025, received Aug 21, 2025, about the electrical system. It names 13 model years across Jeep, Dodge and Alfa Romeo (2022–2025). 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. 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. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 12 model years this bulletin names have filed 507 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 211 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2022 Jeep Compass, the 20 owners who gave an odometer reading for Electrical System reported it at a median of 12,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.

2024 Dodge Hornet · Electrical System · filed with NHTSA Sep 14, 2026
A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Stellantis S2509000008 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 S2509000008 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 S2509000008 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 13 model years across 3 brands (Jeep, Dodge and Alfa Romeo): 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale, 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale, 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale eAWD, 2025 Dodge Hornet, 2024 Dodge Hornet, 2023 Dodge Hornet and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
