What’s wrong
On some Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles due to a potential nonconformity some electric-electronic components may malfunction as a result of water infiltrations and their performance may be compromised. The vehicle may not function as the driver expects it to during use including unintended activation and opening of the rear liftgate door at vehicle speeds up to 3.1 MPH. An unintended activation and opening of the rear liftgate door may result in a loss of unrestrained cargo. Lost cargo may create a road hazard and could cause a following vehicle to crash without prior warning.
The fix
Sealing and/or application of sealants in specific places will ensure full parts conformity is restored.
