Symptoms

Customers may experience a single, clear symptom related to this issue:

  • Your vehicle is missing its second key fob.

This means that when you purchased or received your 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale, only one key fob was provided, despite the vehicle typically coming with two.

Cause

The root cause of the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale missing key fob is identified as a "Plant sequencing issue." This indicates a manufacturing error or oversight during the vehicle assembly process, leading to the omission of the second key fob for some units.

Diagnosis

To diagnose if your 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale is affected by the missing key fob, a dealership technician will check your vehicle's VIN in their VIP (Vehicle Information Plus) system or the Rapid Service Update (RSU) VIN list. If your VIN is listed, the repair procedure should be performed. Even if your VIN is not on the list but you are experiencing the symptom of a missing second key fob, the repair procedure can still be carried out.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair for the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale missing key fob is straightforward and involves two main steps:

  1. Order a new key fob: The dealership will order a second key fob specifically for your vehicle using its unique VIN. This ensures compatibility and proper programming.
  2. Deliver the key fob: Once the new key fob arrives, the dealership will either hand it directly to the customer or place it inside the vehicle for retrieval.

Important Warnings

Owners should be aware of a key detail regarding the replacement process:

  • "Keyfob will arrive programed and ready to use."

This means you will not need to visit the dealership for a separate programming appointment once the new key fob is received. It will function immediately upon delivery.

  • 7TB32JXWAA - MOPAR
