3 known faults

2.0 Turbo 200 AT8

  1. Recall: possible fuel pump failure

    Manufacturer recall

    A recall (NHTSA campaign 25V586, September 2025) concerns about 29,467 Giulias built from September 2016 to June 2019: the Vitesco fuel pump can fail, cutting off fuel supply and drive power, which increases the risk of an accident. This campaign is American: ask a dealer whether your car is affected in France. According to the NHTSA acknowledgement, the remedy was still under development.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  2. Braking system recalls (IBS module, control unit, rear discs)

    Manufacturer recall

    Several recalls affect braking on the Giulia and Stelvio: a faulty IBS (Integrated Brake System) module, which can lead to an ABS failure, on cars built from 16 January 2019 to 15 February 2021 (Caradisiac, autoevolution); a brake system control unit possibly fitted incorrectly on cars built from 15 April 2019 to 14 July 2020 (Caradisiac); and rear discs lacking material on cars built from 4 March to 20 August 2020 (Rappel Conso).

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  3. Repeated flat batteries

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    Giulia owners report batteries that drain, with the causes given as the infotainment system not switching off or the telematics module not going into sleep mode. Software updates have resolved some cases, but several owners replaced the battery without solving the problem: these sources are forums and a parts website, not manufacturer documents.
