Stellantis recalls over 20,000 plug-in hybrid SUVs over potential brake pedal issue

Published On Oct 16, 2024, 9:00 AM

Stellantis is recalling over 20,000 plug-in hybrid SUVs, specifically the Alfa Romeo Tonale and Dodge Hornet models, due to a potential issue with the brake pedal that could cause it to disengage unexpectedly while driving. This safety concern has led to at least 15 reported incidents globally, although no injuries have been reported. The company will offer free repairs for affected vehicles, which involve reinforcing the brake pedal, and owners will be notified directly.

Stock Forecasts

The recall may negatively impact Stellantis's brand reputation and sales in the short term, potentially leading to decreased investor confidence. However, the proactive recall and remedy can mitigate long-term effects if the issue is resolved effectively and customers are reassured about vehicle safety.
