Stellantis, the parent company of Alfa Romeo and Dodge, issued a recall order for about 4,700 Alfa Romeo Tonale plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and Dodge Hornet PHEV SUVs from model years 2023-2024 because they lack a required pedestrian alert beep that should sound when the cars are in reverse.

The beep is necessary because both vehicles can be near-silent at low speeds if only their electric motors are engaged.

Stellantis tells federal safety officials the cars “may have been built with a pedestrian alert siren that is not properly connected and/or missing.”

Dealers will fix the problem by connecting unconnected sirens and installing missing ones.

Recall repairs are always free.
