Recall Summary Fiat Chrysler is recalling approximately 24,020 vehicles (Grande Punto, Multipla, Bravo, and Panda models) because brake hoses may not have been properly manufactured, which could restrict brake fluid flow and reduce braking effectiveness.

- Vehicles: FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES GRANDE PUNTO, FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES MULTIPLA, FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES BRAVO, FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES PANDA. Units affected: 24,020
- 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.
