Service Bulletins

Manufacturer service bulletins offer diagnostic and repair guidance for common issues that may not warrant a full recall but are important for vehicle maintenance and performance. This month's Alfa Romeo Stelvio service bulletins highlight several key areas.

One significant bulletin, TSB S2621000003 REV.A, addresses "service transmission" and "check engine" warning indicators in 2012-2026 models equipped with 8-speed transmissions. This TSB provides detailed diagnostic steps and repair recommendations for related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that owners might encounter.

Engine-related concerns are also covered, including TSB 9100325 Rev 1 for 2021-2025 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles. This bulletin details diagnostic steps for an "Engine Light On with P1CEA (Boost Side EVAP Purge System Performance)" condition. It specifically advises checking for improperly connected or kinked purge hoses before considering component replacement.

Another important engine bulletin is TSB 09-013-25 REV. B, which addresses oil leakage from the timing cover in 2022-2024 Stelvio models. This issue is often caused by loose fasteners, and the bulletin outlines the necessary repair procedures, including re-torquing or resealing the cover.

Additionally, Stellantis has issued several bulletins regarding aluminum body panel corrosion, such as TSB 31-001-25 REV. B. These bulletins, though currently on hold, provide guidance for diagnosing and repairing corrosion and bubbling on exterior panels like hoods, doors, and liftgates for 2013-2026 models. Owners should be aware of these ongoing developments.

What Alfa Romeo Stelvio Owners Should Do

  • Monitor Warning Lights: Pay attention to any "service transmission" or "check engine" warnings. If these appear, consult your dealer, especially if your vehicle is a 2012-2026 model with an 8-speed transmission, as per TSB S2621000003 REV.A.
  • Address Engine Light P1CEA: If your 2021-2025 Stelvio displays an engine light with DTC P1CEA, mention TSB 9100325 Rev 1 to your service technician, as it highlights specific diagnostic steps for boost side EVAP purge system performance.
  • Check for Oil Leaks: For 2022-2024 Stelvio owners, regularly inspect for any signs of oil leakage, particularly around the timing cover. Referencing TSB 09-013-25 REV. B can guide your service center in addressing potential loose fasteners or sealing issues.
  • Discuss Corrosion Concerns: If you notice any bubbling or corrosion on aluminum body panels of your 2013-2026 Stelvio, discuss the relevant TSBs (e.g., 31-001-25 REV. B) with your dealer, even if the bulletin is on hold, to understand potential future repair options.
