NHTSA lists 2 safety recalls and 5 owner complaints for the 2024 Fiat 5 Series. Most complaints involve electrical system (2) and power train (1).
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Fiat 500e Battery Electric (BEV) vehicles. The headlight horizontal aim adjustment is not covered as intended, which can result in improperly adjusted headlights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia, 2018-2025 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, 2019-2023 Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, and 2024 Fiat 500E vehicles. A seat belt buckle switch sensor may be improperly connected, preventing the front seat air bag from deploying as intended.

The first stall occurred in town at about 35 mph on a busy road. The second occurred at 70 mph on the freeway shortly after leaving Rairdon’s Fiat in Kirkland, WA, where I had been told the car was repaired. Both events created a serious safety risk, especially the freeway stall where a collision from a fast-moving vehicle or commercial truck could have been fatal. The specific component that failed is unknown. The vehicle has now been at Ron Tonkin Fiat’s service department for more than two months, and any inspection would need to be arranged directly with them. On Nov 5, 2025, the Service Department Head at Ron Tonkin, Terry Bryan, confirmed he was able to reproduce the stalling issue and said a diagnostic code was present, though he did not tell me what it was. The vehicle has been brought in for this issue four times and has been inspected by…”
