Fiat Chrysler Australia has recalled the Abarth 124 Spider due to an issue with its fuel pump.
“Due to a manufacturing fault the fuel pump inside the fuel delivery module could fail and result in loss of engine power,” the company says in its recall notice.
“A loss of power while driving could increase the risk of an accident and injury to a vehicle occupant or other road users. In the event of a serious accident this may result in death.”
- A total of 68 vehicles are affected from 2018
- The original recall notice and VIN lists can be found here
If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to take it to a Fiat/Abarth dealership to have a new fuel pump installed, free of charge.
If you have any further questions, you can contact Fiat Chrysler Australia on 1800 870 720.
