What's wrong?
The headlamp wire harness on the 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia is the bundle of wiring that carries electrical power and signals to the headlights. When it is routed correctly, the harness stays clear of areas that can pinch, rub, or damage the wiring while the lights operate.
On affected Giulia vehicles, the harness was misrouted during assembly. That is an assembly problem, not a bad part by design. The misplaced harness can become damaged near the wheel arch liner, and damaged wiring can interrupt headlamp power. If that happens, the headlights fail to function as required.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign can be headlights that do not turn on or stop working, so the dealer repair focuses on inspecting the wheel arch liner, checking the harness, and rerouting or repairing the wiring as needed.

What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Alfa Romeo dealer to schedule the free inspection, wheel arch liner replacement, and wiring-harness repair that fixes the misrouting behind the headlight failure.
- Bring the recall notice if Alfa Romeo mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V845 when you call.
- Avoid driving at night or in low-visibility conditions until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Alfa Romeo technician inspects the wheel arch liner, replaces it if needed, and repairs the wiring harness where routing damage or interference is found. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid out of pocket for a related wheel arch liner or wiring harness repair before the recall notice, Alfa Romeo's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring the repair order and payment records to the service desk.
