Stellantis Expands U.S. Recall for Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEVs Over Brake-Pedal Collapse Risk

Dealers will install a nut‑and‑bolt reinforcement with owner notices set for January.

Stellantis Recalls Another 6,000 PHEVs Because Their Brake Pedals Could Snap: Alfa Romeo Tonale, Recalls
A Chrysler and Dodge sign is seen on a dealership in Miami, Florida on April 22, 2016.

Overview

  • The latest action adds 5,974 vehicles in the United States—3,286 Dodge Hornet PHEVs and 2,688 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEVs—bringing the U.S. total to about 27,000.
  • Stellantis says the brake pedal arm can collapse under hard braking, a component it manufactures in-house in Italy.
  • Repairs will be performed free of charge, with pedal arms reinforced and replaced only if broken.
  • Owner notification letters for the brake recall are scheduled to begin January 13, 2026, and drivers are advised to hold the electronic park brake to stop if a pedal fails; AEB may intervene if active.
  • A separate recall covers 313 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio sedans for a headlight wiring-harness routing issue, with notices planned for January 28, 2026.
