Has your Fiat been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

Summary: A plastic tube covering part of the metal brake line for the rear brake system may allow water to accumulate. This water will oxidize the brake line. Oxidation can cause deterioration or possible breakage of the brake line. This can result in a loss of efficiency of the rear brake system and can impair the total braking capacity of the vehicle.
Remedy: The defective portion of the metal brake line will be replaced without charge to owner.
