What's wrong?
The brake pedal in these 2024 Dodge Hornet PHEV and Tonale PHEV vehicles is the driver’s direct link to the hydraulic brake system. When you press the pedal, the pedal arm and linkage transfer that force into the system that applies the brakes at the wheels. The assembly has to stay rigid while you are braking.
On affected vehicles, the brake pedal assembly was built in a way that allows the pedal arm to collapse during braking. If that happens, the pedal no longer transfers force normally, and brake function is lost. The planned repair reinforces the brake pedal arm by adding a bolt and a nut so the pedal assembly holds its position under braking force.
There is no warning sign before failure. The pedal can collapse during normal driving, so an owner is unlikely to hear, feel, or see a problem before the brake pedal stops working as designed.
Who's affected?
Hornet PHEV and Tonale PHEV share the same brake-pedal part and hydraulic brake system.

What's the safety risk?
A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so confirm whether your VIN is included and schedule the recall visit as soon as Dodge makes the repair available. Repair will be free at any franchised Dodge dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Dodge Hornet PHEV or Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV is included in this recall.
- Watch for the owner letter from FCA, then contact a franchised Dodge dealer when the free brake-pedal-arm reinforcement opens.
- Reference recall number 25V846 when you call the dealer.
- Ask FCA Customer Service at 1-800-853-1403 if your dealer cannot confirm timing for the repair.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance because the brake pedal arm can collapse and reduce brake function.
What happens at the repair
The final dealer repair is still under development. Once it opens, a Dodge technician will reinforce the brake pedal arm so it can keep its intended strength during braking. Parts and labor will be covered under the recall. If you already paid for a related brake pedal repair before the recall notice, FCA uses its standard reimbursement plan for documented expenses. Keep repair invoices, payment records, and any diagnosis paperwork, then contact FCA Customer Service or ask the dealer service desk how to submit the claim.
