Every Alfa Romeo 147 recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
TYRE SIDEWALL MAY CRACK
R/2010/025, launched 26 March 2010, 241 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It has been identified that Pirelli tyre type 215/40 ZR18 89W PZERO NERO annotated MO and F223 may suffer cracking of the sidewall. This can lead to loss of inflation pressure and under certain conditions can have an adverse effect on the safe handling of the vehicle.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the subject tyres replaced.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
R/2007/174, launched 7 December 2007, 687 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the 159, Brera, GT, Spider
Defect: Due to the possibility of a fault in the production process the flexible rubber brake hoses may not have been correctly vulcanised. As a consequence may partially or totally restrict the internal flow of the brake hydraulic fluid. Should this happen a reduction in efficiency during braking would occur.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the hoses checked to identify if they are within the affected batch. If this is the case they will be replaced with quality assured items.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
R/2007/082, launched 10 August 2007, 890 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the GT
Defect: There is a possibility that the fuel hose from the diesel filter to the high pressure pump may chafe on the fuel filter housing. In time this could result in a fuel leak and the possibility of an engine compartment fire.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the routing of the hose checked at which time if the hose is not damaged a new bracket will be fitted to prevent chafing. If the hose is damaged it will be replaced in addition a new bracket will be fitted.
CLUTCH MAY FAIL
R/2006/166, launched 17 October 2006, 5,355 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the GT
Defect: On a number of RHD ALfa Romeo 147 and GT models there is a possibility that the clip which secures the connecting pin between the clutch cylinder and the clutch pedal may become detached resulting in loss of clutch operation.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a redesigned retaining clip.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY REDUCE
R/2006/128, launched 19 September 2006, 3,950 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the GT
Defect: The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system does not operate properly when the space saver spare wheel is fitted. This could lead to the VDC warning lamp operating and may lead to reduced braking efficiency if the brakes are vigorously applied.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new VDC electronic control unit that has upgraded software installed.
POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK
R/2005/030, launched 23 May 2005, 865 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the 166
Defect: A fuel leak may result due to cracking of the recirculation pipe flange on the fuel tank when the tank is filled to the maximum.

POSSIBLE FIRE RISK
R/2003/153, launched 1 October 2003, 6 vehicles affected across the models it covers

What to do next
If you own a Alfa Romeo 147, check its registration on GOV.UK and ask a Alfa Romeo dealer whether any recall work is outstanding. If you are buying one, ask the seller for proof the work was done, and run a Motoring Insider history check for finance, write-offs and the MOT history.
