Every Fiat Safety Recall In The UK, By Model And Year, With What Each Fault Means And How To Get It Fixed

Fiat has 199 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 58 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve software, brakes and fuel leaks. Enter your registration to check your Fiat; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Fiat dealer.¹

For many UK Fiat owners the most relevant recalls are on the Ducato, because it is the base for most motorhomes as well as a popular van. The largest recent Fiat recall, R/2019/360, refitted a brake line retaining clip on Ducatos, covering 24,484 vehicle-records, and R/2021/034 replaced steering knuckles on others. If you own a motorhome, check the base vehicle by registration and the habitation side with the converter; our motorhome recalls page explains both. Among Fiat cars, the 500 and Panda had a 2025 recall (R/2023/313) to correct registration and conformity paperwork rather than a mechanical fault, and the new Fiat 600 shares Stellantis's 2025 high-pressure fuel pipe recall (R/2025/298) with Peugeot, Vauxhall and Citroën models. Fiat's recall rate per car on the road is close to the average for major brands once vans are taken out. Any Fiat dealer can check your VIN and book the work.

The per-car figure divides car recalls since 2020 by the number of Fiat cars licensed in the UK in 2026 Q2, with van-only recalls removed.² A higher count doesn't mean a car is less reliable: it reflects the size of the range, how vans are counted and how readily a maker recalls.
