Alfa Romeo is recalling 337,128 2017-2025 Stelvio, Giulia, 500E, 500X, and Renegade vehicles because a seat belt buckle switch sensor can be improperly connected.

What's wrong?

The seat belt buckle switch sensor tells the restraint system whether a front belt is latched. It works with the front air bag logic and the seat belt reminder, so the vehicle can respond correctly when someone is sitting in the front seat and wearing a belt. The connector links that sensor in the buckle to the seat wiring harness.

On affected 2017-2025 Stelvio, Giulia, 500E, 500X, and Renegade vehicles, the connector on the buckle switch sensor was built in a suspect condition. That disrupted connection can interfere with electrical conduction between the seat wiring and the buckle. When the restraint system gets the wrong buckle signal, the front passenger air bag does not deploy as intended in a crash, and the driver's seat belt assembly falls outside required performance.

The warning sign is an airbag light that stays on, or a seat belt reminder buzzer that sounds even after the seat belt is fastened. Treat either warning as a sign that the buckle sensor connection needs inspection under recall 24V510.

What's the safety risk?

A front seat air bag that fails to deploy as intended can increase injury risk in a crash. If the airbag light stays on or the seat belt reminder sounds while the belt is fastened, schedule the repair soon and drive cautiously until it is completed. Repair is free at any franchised Alfa Romeo dealer.
