Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Talento: Incorrect Load Capacity Listed For Interior Hooks
Recall Summary FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES is recalling 548 Talento vehicles because the Owner Handbook incorrectly lists the maximum load capacity for interior load hooks as 625 daN when the correct capacity is 500 daN. If loads exceeding 500 daN are placed on these hooks, they may fail to secure the load, potentially causing it to shift during driving. The manufacturer will add a corrected label in the load compartment and provide an updated handbook page.

- Vehicles: FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES TALENTO. Units affected: 548
- Reason
- It has been identified that the maximum load capacity for the load restraint hooks in the load compartment of the vehicle has been incorrectly written in the Owner Handbook. The correct load capacity is 500 daN and not the 625 daN as written. If the correct load capacity of 500 daN is not adhered to then the load hooks may not retain the load due to overloading. This could result in an unsecured load with the potential for loss of control of the vehicle. Remedy: Recall all affected vehicles to attach a load capacity label within the load compartment and install an additional amended page...
