Alfa Romeo Tonale recalled

Alfa Romeo has recalled the Tonale SUV to fix a problem with the 48V battery housing.

“A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders and/or damage to property.”

• A total of 32 vehicles are included in the recall

Alfa Romeo will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free fix with their nearest dealer.
