Stellantis (Shanghai) Automotive Co., Ltd. has announced a significant recall affecting nearly 5,000 imported vehicles in China. The recalls address potential safety concerns in specific models of the imported all-new Grand Cherokee 4xe and Alfa Romeo models, including the Giulia and Stelvio.
Grand Cherokee 4xe Recall
A total of 3,814 units of the imported all-new Grand Cherokee 4xe, manufactured between February 3, 2023, and October 9, 2023, are being recalled. The issue stems from a software problem within the occupant restraint control module. This malfunction can cause the door collision pressure sensor to experience a momentary fault and become permanently locked. In the event of a side collision, this could lead to a delayed deployment of the front seat side airbags, potentially compromising their protective function and increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
To rectify this, Stellantis will update the occupant restraint control module software free of charge for all affected vehicles, thereby eliminating the safety hazard.
Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Recall
Additionally, 1,146 imported Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio vehicles produced between January 25, 2017, and June 13, 2019, are part of this recall effort (Recall Number S2026M0143V). This recall is an expansion of a previous recall issued on July 24, 2026.
The concern for these models relates to the low-pressure fuel pump. Due to a design issue, the fuel pump may not be able to output fuel correctly, leading to insufficient fuel supply. In extreme scenarios, this could result in the engine stalling while the vehicle is in operation, posing a safety risk.
Stellantis will address this by replacing the affected fuel pumps and fuel pump control modules with improved versions at no cost to the owners. It’s important to note that vehicles previously fitted with the upgraded components during the earlier recall will not require another replacement.
Owners of the affected vehicles are advised to contact Stellantis authorized dealerships to schedule an appointment for the necessary repairs. This proactive measure by Stellantis aims to ensure the continued safety and reliability of its vehicles on the road.
