What is being recalled

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles. An improperly crimped clamp may allow the side curtain air bag cushion and inflator to separate, causing an incomplete deployment or preventing the deployment of the air bag.

Why it is dangerous

An incomplete deployment or non-deployment of the side curtain air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side air bag inflatable curtain assembly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin May 19, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is Y15.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 21V-221 when calling a dealer.
