The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a recall notification for over 21,000 Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale vehicles for a brake pedal failure.
Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, is recalling 21,069 of its 2024-2025 Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale vehicles.
In the NHTSA report, the automobile company said “the brake pedal may collapse and cause a loss of brake function.” If a driver loses brake function, this will increase the risk of a crash, the report said.
The report was submitted on Oct. 9.
“The company is aware of 15 cases globally, including one accident, with no injuries reported,” Stellantis spokesperson, Frank Matyok, said in a statement to USA TODAY.
Matyok also adds if the brake pedal disengages while braking, owners can do the following:
“Should this happen, the Electronic Park Brake, located on the center console, can be pulled up and held while driving to slow the vehicle to a controlled stop,” he said. “Additionally, the Automatic Emergency Braking system, unless deactivated, will intervene without further action from the driver when it detects a collision is imminent.”
As a free service dealers will reinforce the brake pedal arm. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent by Oct. 24. Owners may contact FCA Customer Service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is B7B.
Matyok said that an estimated amount of the affected vehicles are also being recalled:
- Canada: 2,299 vehicles
- Mexico: 145 vehicles
- Additional markets outside North America: 20,987 vehicles
Recalled vehicles (21,069):
- 2024-2025 Dodge Hornet
- 2024-2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale

Ram 1500 recall for a rearview mirror detachment
Stellantis issued another recall for 31,676 of its 2020-2023 Ram 1500 Classic vehicles that are equipped with heated trailer tow rearview mirrors.
In the NHTSA report, the automobile company said “the mirror glass may detach from the driver's side heated trailer tow rearview mirror.” A detached mirror glass can reduce a driver’s visibility and increase the risk of a crash, the report said.
The report was submitted on Oct. 10.
In addition, the government agency said the Ram 1500 “fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, ‘Rear Visibility.’”
To fix the issue, dealers will replace the mirror glass for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be delivered by Dec. 5. Owners may contact FCA Customer Service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 86B.
Recalled vehicles (31,676):
- 2020-2023 Ram 1500
