Problem Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia and 2021-2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 81B is the number Alfa Romeo assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 24V512000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
