The NHTSA issued a recall notification for 21,069 Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale vehicles over a brake pedal failure.

Stellantis is recalling its Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale models, both introduced in 2023, due to a problem with the brakes. According to Transport Canada's website, "on certain vehicles, the brake pedal may break during braking. Should this occur, the driver may not be able to apply the brakes."

Over 20,000 units of the Stellantis-made compact crossovers are affected by this recall, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says.
