The hybrid versions of the two related crossovers from Alfa Romeo and Dodge may either have a disconnected pedestrian alert system or it might be missing altogether
According to Stellantis, its production facilities built Dodge Hornets and Alfa Romeo Tonales with missing or malfunctioning safety equipment for roughly eight months. As a result, it's recalling 4,660 crossovers in an effort to remedy the situation. Affected units may not meet minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles. That sound is the one made by hybrids and EVs when in reverse which serves to alert pedestrians to the presence of a car.
