What's wrong?
The brake pedal in the 2019-2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia connects to the brake booster through a push rod and fastener. The brake booster helps multiply the force from your foot, so the pedal movement becomes hydraulic braking pressure at the wheels. That connection has to stay tight every time the pedal is pressed.
On affected vehicles, a misaligned screwing station during manufacturing left the connection between the piston and push rod loose. Over normal use, that loose screw connection can disconnect. If that happens, the brake pedal can detach from the brake booster instead of transferring pedal force into the braking system.
A driver with a loose connection can notice an abnormal noise near the pedal area or a brake pedal that feels unstable underfoot. Those are warning signs to take seriously, because they point to movement in a connection that is supposed to be fixed.
Who's affected?
Covers both Stelvio and Giulia from the 2019 and 2020 model years, all tied to the same ABS control module.

What's the safety risk?
Brake pedal detachment can cause a loss of brake function and increase the risk of a crash. If you hear abnormal noise from the pedal area or feel an unstable brake pedal, stop using the vehicle until a dealer inspects it. Repair is free at any franchised Alfa Romeo dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio or Giulia is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Alfa Romeo dealer to schedule the free brake-booster-connection inspection and repair that keeps the brake pedal connected to the booster.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 24V943 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Alfa Romeo technician inspects the brake pedal to brake booster connection, checks the fastener assembly, and repairs or torques the connection to specification when needed. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you've already paid out of pocket for this brake booster connection repair before FCA's recall notice, the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan gives owners a path to claim documented costs. Bring prior repair paperwork to the service desk or contact FCA customer service for the claim process.
