Every Alfa Romeo Spider 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.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
R/2007/174, launched 7 December 2007, 687 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the 147, 159, Brera, GT
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.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL
R/2007/092, launched 27 July 2007, 610 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the 159, Brera
Defect: Oil may leak from the Power Take Off Unit which may cause the unit to seize and possible loss of vehicle control.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to apply sealant to the core plug and to fit a retaining clip.
SECURITY OF SEAT BELT
R/1996/026, launched 12 March 1996, 12 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Gtv
Defect: A number of the subject vehicles have been fitted with seat belts manufactured by TRW the attachment systems of which may not remain secure in an accident situation.
Remedy: Recall the affected vehicles check the date of production on the seat belt buckles and replace those within the critical batch.
REAR BRAKE HOSE MAY CHAFE SUSPENSION
R/1996/020, launched 12 March 1996, 12 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Gtv
Defect: When fully loaded the rear brake hoses may contact the anti roll-bar upper attachments and a plastic shield. This could damage the hoses and cause fluid loss with a consequent reduction in braking efficiency.
Remedy: Recall the affected vehicles for rerouting of the rear brake hoses. Any hose found to be damaged will be replaced.

What to do next
If you own a Alfa Romeo Spider, 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.
