Fiat GRANDE PUNTO Recalls

There are currently 19 safety recalls out on the Fiat GRANDE PUNTO. To find out whether your car is affected, you'll need to find your car's VIN number.

How to find your VIN

The VIN can often be found on the lower-left corner of the dashboard, in front of the steering wheel.

You can read the number by looking through the windshield. The VIN may also appear in a number of other locations:

  • Front of the engine block. This should be easy to spot by opening the bonnet, and looking at the front of the engine.
  • Front of the car frame, near the container that holds windshield washer fluid.
  • Rear wheel well. Try looking up, directly above the tyre.
  • Inside the driver-side doorjamb. Open the door, and look underneath where the side-view mirror would be located if the door was shut.
  • Driver-side doorpost. Open the door, and look near the spot where the door latches, not too far from the seatbelt return.
  • Underneath the spare tyre.

If you still can't locate the VIN, try consulting your vehicle manual. Or, call a dealership or the manufacturer and request guidance.

    R/2009/131
    VIN start:
    ZFA19900001138499
    VIN end:
    ZFA19900001392058
    Car Build Date:
    01/07/2006 - 30/04/2008
    Concern:
    Steering May Fail
    Defect:
    It has been identified that the tightening torque of the steering shaft upper fixing bolt may not be correct. This may result in the emission of noise and in extreme cases breakage of the shaft which will result in loss of steering control.
    Remedy:

    Concern:
    Brakes May Fail
    Defect:
    Due to the possibility of a fault in the production process the flexible rubber brake hoses may not have been correctly vulcanised.
