Each campaign in detail

Airbag recall: occupant restraint module (ORC)
Manufacturer recall
A recall (Rapex alert 47/2017, November 2017) affects Flavias built between August 2010 and February 2014: a fault in the ORC module can cause the airbag and seatbelt pretensioner to deploy incorrectly in an accident (car-recalls.eu). Alvolante also mentions airbag faults covered by manufacturer recalls and advises checking that the repairs have been carried out.
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).
