Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Certain Alfa Romeo GT and 147 vehicles equipped with VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control System) and produced between November 2003 and January 2006 have a defect where the system cannot recognize the spare wheel due to its different size. This prevents the ABS (anti-lock braking system) from functioning properly in the event of an accident. The affected vehicles are identified by specific chassis number ranges: GT models from 3144007 to 3321295 and 5081439 to 5210113, and 147 models from 3228724 to 3328468 and 5144149 to 5216111.
The importer has undertaken voluntary corrective actions to address this issue, though the specific date these measures took effect is unknown. The source does not specify what remedy an affected consumer should pursue or how to obtain it.
