Stellantis is facing another round of recalls, this time affecting thousands of its Alfa Romeo and Dodge SUVs for potential brake pedal disengagement issues. Additionally, over 30,000 Ram 1500 Classic trucks are being recalled due to concerns about detaching mirror glass. These recalls come on the heels of previous recalls for fire risks in Jeep SUVs and turn signal malfunctions in Ram trucks.
Alfa Romeo will cease its distinctive off-centre number plate designs on upcoming models due to a new European Union regulation prioritizing pedestrian safety. The brand’s signature side-mounted plates, a design element since the 1955 Giulietta Spider, will be replaced with centrally positioned plates on new vehicles, including the next-generation Giulia and Stelvio. Alfa Romeo’s design chief, Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos, confirmed the change, citing the new homologation regulations for pedestrian safety as the driving force behind the decision.
