JAKARTA - Stellantis, one of the major players in the automotive industry, has announced a recall for a number of their hybrid SUVs in the United States. This step was taken following the discovery of potential problems on the brake pedal in several models.

The models affected by these recalls are Alfa Romeo Tonale plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and Dodge Hornet PHEV. According to Reuters, October 16, the brake pedal on several cars that had to be recalled could be accidentally released when stepped on.

Although the company has received reports of 15 cases globally, including one crash, so far there have been no reports of injuries. To overcome this problem, Stellantis will make repairs to the brake pedal for free.

In addition, Stellantis also advises car owners affected by the recall to use electronic parking brakes as an alternative to slow down vehicles if they experience loss of braking power.

This recall is not only limited in the United States. Stellantis has also identified units affected in other countries, including Canada, Mexico, and several markets outside North America.

With this recall step, Stellantis affirms its commitment to consumer safety and the quality of their products.
