Does a recall affect your Alfa Romeo Spider?

Not every Alfa Romeo Spider is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

2007 2 recalls

Brakes may fail

Launched 7 December 2007 DVSA recall R/2007/174

Defect
Due to the possibility of a fault in the production process the flexible rubber brake hoses may not have been correctly vulcanised. As a consequence may partially or totally restrict the internal flow of the brake hydraulic fluid. Should this happen a reduction in efficiency during braking would occur.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the hoses checked to identify if they are within the affected batch. If this is the case they will be replaced with quality assured items.
Vehicles affected
687 across everything the recall covers
Built
20 Nov 2007 to 22 Nov 2007

Possible loss of vehicle control

Launched 27 July 2007 DVSA recall R/2007/092

Defect
Oil may leak from the Power Take Off Unit which may cause the unit to seize and possible loss of vehicle control.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to apply sealant to the core plug and to fit a retaining clip.
Vehicles affected
610 across everything the recall covers
Built
1 Nov 2005 to 28 Feb 2007

1996 2 recalls

Security of seat belt

Launched 12 March 1996 DVSA recall R/1996/026

Defect
A number of the subject vehicles have been fitted with seat belts manufactured by TRW the attachment systems of which may not remain secure in an accident situation.
Remedy
Recall the affected vehicles check the date of production on the seat belt buckles and replace those within the critical batch.
Vehicles affected
12 across everything the recall covers

Rear brake hose may chafe suspension

Launched 12 March 1996 DVSA recall R/1996/020

Defect
When fully loaded the rear brake hoses may contact the anti roll-bar upper attachments and a plastic shield. This could damage the hoses and cause fluid loss with a consequent reduction in braking efficiency.
Remedy
Recall the affected vehicles for rerouting of the rear brake hoses. Any hose found to be damaged will be replaced.

Derived statistics UK Motoring 		January 1992 to September 2026 4 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Alfa Romeo Spider. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
