Fiat 500 X: deaths and injuries the manufacturer reported to NHTSA
Fiat reported 28 incidents alleging a death or injury in a Fiat 500 X, model years 2016–2018, in its quarterly Early Warning reports to NHTSA (49 CFR 579.21), through 2026 Q1. Each is a claim the manufacturer received, not a finding; NHTSA does not verify them.
