What's wrong?
The center display screen in the 2023-2025 Tonale and Hornet is the dashboard screen that shows the rearview camera image when the vehicle shifts into reverse. That image gives the driver a view directly behind the vehicle during a backing move. The camera and display work together as part of the rear visibility system.
On affected vehicles, the display module does not power up correctly for every reverse event. The recall points to cold soldering on a voltage regulator or a software defect inside the microprocessor. In plain terms, the screen's electronics or control software fail to complete the startup sequence, so the rear camera image does not appear when it is needed.
The warning sign is visible to the driver. When the vehicle is placed into reverse, the rearview image is not displayed on the center screen. If that happens, the driver has lost the camera view for that backing move.
Who's affected?
Spans the Tonale and Hornet across the 2023-2025 model years, with the same center display screen software tied to the backup camera.

What's the safety risk?
When the rearview image does not appear in reverse, the driver has less view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing crash risk. Treat a blank rear camera image as a reason to use extra care and schedule service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Alfa Romeo dealer.
