- Engine / equipment
- Fiat Tipo from 2015 (petrol, mild hybrid and Multijet)
- Period mentioned
- 2015 onwards
- Symptoms
- Rusty rear brakes and insufficient service-brake performance from the first inspection; also suspension and lighting; carbon on the injectors and intake of the turbo petrols; on diesels, particulate filter, dual-mass flywheel, turbo, EGR and injectors at high mileage; poor DAB reception due to the aerial.
- Possible cause described
- The German guide finds the engines reliable; the weak point at inspection is the brakes. Recalls: badly routed wires in the steering wheel that could fire the airbag (October 2015–July 2016) and airbag-module software after quick starts and stops (31/10/2020 to 9/2/2021).
