Alfa Romeo has released Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 23-020-25, also known as Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-071, to address a concern with deformed front door weatherstrip door belt moldings on certain 2023-2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles. This bulletin, issued on April 23, 2025, provides guidance for technicians to inspect and potentially replace these components.

The issue stems from a supplier manufacturing problem, leading to the deformation of the weatherstrip door belt moldings. Owners of affected vehicles may notice that "one or both front door weatherstrip door belt moldings are deformed."

Symptoms

The primary symptom owners will observe is a visible deformation of the front door weatherstrip door belt moldings. This can affect either the left or right front door, or both. If you notice your Alfa Romeo Stelvio door weatherstrip deformed, it aligns with the condition described in this bulletin.

Diagnosis

For technicians, the diagnostic process involves checking the vehicle's VIN against the VIP system or the RSU VIN list to confirm applicability. If the VIN is listed, the repair procedure should be performed. Even if a vehicle's VIN is not on the list but exhibits the described symptom of a deformed Alfa Romeo Stelvio door weatherstrip, the repair procedure should still be followed.
