Legal Compliance & Safety Hazard Remedy - VIN: [XXX] Alfa Romeo's response frames towing as a "warranty coverage" issue. This is factually incorrect and legally irrelevant. This is not a warranty claim; this is a federally mandated National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety campaign involving a severe vehicle fire and engine stalling hazard. Under federal law (49 U.S.C. § 30120), manufacturers are legally required to provide a remedy for safety recalls that is reasonably accessible to the consumer, free of charge. Alfa Remeo has failed to provide that access: Complete Infrastructure Failure in [XXX]: My nearest in-state authorized dealer, Dennis Dillon Fiat in [XXX], has formally refused to perform this safety recall because they do not have an Alfa-certified technician on staff. Extreme Geographical Hardship: Because Alfa Romeo's only in-state service center lacks the technical capability to fulfill your safety mandate, the nearest operational dealership is now roughly 9.5 hours away. Severe Safety Liability: Alfa Romeo is demanding that I personally operate or coordinate the transport of a vehicle with an active, un-remedied fuel system fire/stalling hazard across nearly 10 hours of public highway. Doing so places severe liability on me and a catastrophic safety risk on the public—a risk caused entirely by a manufacturing defect and your broken dealer network. Because Stellantis cannot provide a qualified technician within a reasonable or safe distance from ZIP code [XXX], they are failing to provide a functionally accessible recall remedy. I am requesting that Alfa Romeo authorize one of the following logistical accommodations: Option A: Stellantis covers the full cost of a commercial auto-carrier to transport the vehicle from [XXX] to your closest functional facility and return it upon completion. Option B: Stellantis issues a formal franchise waiver to allow my local local Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram (CDJR) in [XXX].

My 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio has a safety recall, due to a faulty fuel pump. I have attempted to work with the Alfa Romeo customer support team to try and have my vehicle fixed, but they have not been able to make practical arrangements to have the vehicle serviced. I live in [XXX]. Initially, I was informed that although there were no local Alfa Romeo dealerships in [XXX], there were some partner Jeep Chrysler Dodge dealerships that could handle the repair. However, I was then informed that these dealerships were no longer being compensated from Alfa Romeo, so I would actually need to work with an actual Alfa Romeo dealership. The closest dealership is in [XXX], which is over 400 miles away. I was then told that Alfa Romeo would arrange towing my car to and from the dealership in [XXX]. The parts were ordered and after a few weeks, the parts are now available. However, in the meantime, Alfa Romeo has again changed their policy to provide towing services. I have been informed that they will make an exception and tow my vehicle to the dealership, but then I would be responsible to arrange to pick up the vehicle from the dealership. This would require me to either drive a rental vehicle or purchase a plane ticket at my expense, in order to obtain the vehicle. Alfa Romeo has issued the safety recall, but is not providing a timely or effective option of actually taking care of the repairs without requiring a significant cost to the consumer.

Incident: March 1, 2025 · Filed: August 27, 2026

I am reporting an authorized manufacturer franchise dealer for actively refusing to remedy a federal safety recall and unlawfully withholding my vehicle. My vehicle is a 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio (VIN: [Insert VIN]), which is subject to the active Fuel Pump Safety Recall (NHTSA Campaign 25V586000 / Manufacturer Recall Code 93C). The vehicle has been physically located at Southern Alfa Romeo of Norfolk ([XXX]) for approximately 18 months. The dealership service management has explicitly stated that they will not perform the mandatory safety recall remedy, nor will they release my vehicle to a flatbed towing company, until an unrelated $5,000 civil dispute involving a loaner car is paid out of pocket. By conditioning a federal safety mandate and the physical custody of my vehicle on a separate civil debt, this dealership is violating the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 U.S.C. Chapter 301). The 1.5-year delay also completely violates the federal requirement to provide a safety remedy within a reasonable timeframe. I request federal intervention to force compliance.
