Alfa Romeo Junior I recalls: manufacturer campaigns

Is your version affected?

Find your engine (fuel type and power on the registration document): each row lists the campaigns that concern it. A recall often covers only a production period: only the vehicle identification number (VIN) settles it.

Each campaign in detail

1. Recall: fire risk on the 1.2 hybrid (48 V starter-generator)

   Manufacturer recall

   On the hybrid (MHEV) Junior built between 27 November 2023 and 18 December 2025, the clearance between the petrol particulate filter tube and the protective cap of the 48 V starter-generator is less than 10 mm. In wet conditions, water ingress can cause an electric arc and a thermal event, with a risk of fire. Rappel Conso recommends contacting a dealer.

   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. Recall: fuel leak on the high-pressure line (1.2)

   Manufacturer recall

   A Stellantis recall covers the pipe between the high-pressure pump and the injection rail on the 1.2, affecting 2,108 Alfa Romeo Juniors according to L'argus. A leak can cause excess fuel consumption and a fire risk. The fix consists of tightening the pipe nuts and the rail bolts, at no cost to the customer.

3. Recalls: Matrix LED headlights and power steering calibration

   Manufacturer recall

   Two recalls affected the Junior, all engines, built until December 2024: incorrect alignment of the Matrix LED headlights (798 cars in France, corrected by a learning procedure at an approved garage) and incorrect power steering calibration that can disable the lane departure warning in bends above 90 km/h (771 cars in France, fixed by a calibration update).

   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).

Official notices published in France (RappelConso)

Notices from the French consumer authority (DGCCRF) linked to this model, collected on 29 October 2026.

• 3 July 2026 — Il n'y a pas suffisamment de dégagement (< 10 mm) entre le tube du filtre à particules à essence et le capuchon de protection terminal de l'alternateur de démarrage à courroie de 48 v. Dans des conditions humides, le manque de dégagement et de contact entre ces composants peut entraîner une infiltration d'eau, provoquant un arc électrique qui peut déclencher un événement thermique, tel qu'une surchauffe. Il y a un risque d'incendie.
