Period mentioned
2023 onwards
Symptoms
Engine or electrical-fault warning light, a hot or burning smell under the bonnet and, in extreme cases, an engine-bay fire.
Possible cause described
There is too little clearance between the petrol particulate filter duct and the 48 V hybrid system’s guard (belt starter-generator): in humid conditions water can get in, an electric arc can form and it can overheat. Stellantis recalled about 700,000 cars worldwide (36 incidents, 12 with fire) and advises against pressure-washing the engine until the repair.
Check for the garage
Check the recall by VIN; do not pressure-wash the engine; with the warning or a burning smell, stop and park outdoors.
Cost cited in the source
