Stellantis has just announced a recall campaign involving 13,458 electric vehicles, spread across several of the group's brands. The model most affected is none other than the Fiat 600e. Here are the main points to bear in mind if you own, or plan to acquire, a copy of this model.
A recall motivated by regenerative braking software
The focal point of this recall campaign is related to a regenerative braking control software (called "regenerative braking"). This regenerative braking may not work properly. This may result in higher-than-normal energy consumption. From a safety point of view, Stellantis has not reported any immediate danger to users.
However, regenerative braking performance measurements must comply with current standards. The purpose of the recall is therefore to update the software on the vehicles concerned to ensure full compliance.
The Fiat 600e on the front line
Of the 13,458 vehicles recalled, 4,408 are Fiat 600e. It is therefore the model most affected by this campaign. If you own this electric SUV, please contact your dealer or check the status of your vehicle on the manufacturer's dedicated page (by entering its serial number).
The operation consists of a software updateentirely underwritten by Fiat. There are no costs to the customer.
