FIAT is recalling 12,675 2014-2019 500 vehicles under recall 24V474 because the tire pressure monitoring system warning light can fail to illuminate as intended. Without that warning, an owner can keep driving on improperly inflated tires, which raises the risk of a crash; FIAT dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The tire pressure monitoring system, or TPMS, on the 2014-2019 FIAT 500 watches tire pressure through sensors and turns on a dashboard warning light when pressure drops too low. That light is supposed to give the driver a clear warning before an underinflated tire becomes harder to see from the driver's seat.
On affected 500 vehicles, the problem is not a broken sensor or a failed module. FIAT says certain tire and wheel combinations were programmed with incorrect TPMS sensor values during assembly. Because of that programming, the warning light does not turn on at the pressure level required by the federal tire pressure monitoring standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The tire pressure light itself is the warning, and in this recall it does not illuminate when intended. Owners should not rely only on the dashboard light to know whether a tire is low.
Who's affected?
The included model years all point to the same tire pressure monitoring module.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific hatchback is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the TPMS warning light does not illuminate, the 500 can be driven with improperly inflated tires, increasing the risk of a crash. Check tire pressure manually until the module is reprogrammed, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised FIAT dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2019 FIAT 500 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised FIAT dealer to schedule the free TPMS electronic control unit reprogramming that addresses the tire-pressure warning light failure.
- Bring the owner notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 24V474 when you call.
- Check tire pressure manually until the dealer completes the reprogramming.
- Call FIAT customer service at 1-800-853-1403 with questions about scheduling or repair status.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a FIAT technician reprograms the TPMS electronic control unit module so the tire pressure warning light works as intended. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid out of pocket for this TPMS repair before the owner letter, FCA US asks customers to send the original receipt or other proof of payment to the company for expense confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 24V474?
Recall 24V474 covers 12,675 2014-2019 FIAT 500 vehicles with a TPMS warning light that fails to illuminate as intended. That failure lets an underinflated tire go unnoticed and increases crash risk. Dealers reprogram the TPMS electronic control unit for free.
What should I do if my 2014-2019 FIAT 500 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 24V474. If it is, contact a franchised FIAT dealer to schedule the TPMS electronic control unit reprogramming. Reference recall number 24V474 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says dealers will reprogram the TPMS electronic control unit module free of charge at a franchised FIAT dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is driving on improperly inflated tires without a TPMS warning light. Underinflated tires affect handling, tire wear, and stopping behavior, increasing crash risk. The dealer repair restores the TPMS warning function by reprogramming the electronic control unit.
What if I bought my FIAT 500 used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall eligibility follows the VIN, not the current owner or where the vehicle was purchased. If you never received the July 11, 2024 owner notice, check your VIN and call a franchised FIAT dealer with recall number 24V474.
