The short answer

NHTSA received Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)’s report on Mar 30, 2021. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

An incomplete deployment or non-deployment of the side curtain air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles.

An improperly crimped clamp may allow the side curtain air bag cushion and inflator to separate, causing an incomplete deployment or preventing the deployment of the air bag.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
