Alfa Romeo Gt: Brakes May Fail
Recall Summary Alfa Romeo is recalling 3,435 vehicles (GT, 159, Brera, Spider, and 147 models) sold in the United Kingdom because brake hoses may not have been properly manufactured during production. This defect could restrict brake fluid flow and reduce braking efficiency. Dealers will inspect the brake hoses and replace them if they're part of the affected batch.
- Recalling firm
- ALFA ROMEO
- Product
- Vehicles: ALFA ROMEO GT, ALFA ROMEO 159, ALFA ROMEO BRERA, ALFA ROMEO SPIDER, ALFA ROMEO 147. Units affected: 3,435
- Reason
- Due to the possibility of a fault in the production process the flexible rubber brake hoses may not have been correctly vulcanised. As a consequence may partially or totally restrict the internal flow of the brake hydraulic fluid. Should this happen a reduction in efficiency during braking would occur. Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the hoses checked to identify if they are within the affected batch. If this is the case they will be replaced with quality assured items.
