Multipla Recall Front Springs Breaking

There has been a recall for ALL Multiplas with chassis nos between 02026501 and 02234408 to change front suspension parts

It looks as though it's all the diesels in this range
but check the number of your car just to make sure

You can check by ringing Fiat on 0845 6066619 option 2 followed by option 4
(Mon - Fri 9am-5pm)

If your chasis number is included,
Ring your nearest dealer quoting the recall code which is 4995

Just to make it clear its Mark 1 multiplas, and ONLY diesels, the front suspension springs are being replaced.

thanks for that info.

Just phoned local fiat, there ordering parts and its going in next week to have the work done.(hope they don't start saying other stuff needs doing while its in etc, gulp!)

It's probably a new plan by Fiat to get us to spend more money on our Multiplas

is the recall only for english multiplas or all.i have a spanish one

I would asume it wouldn't make difference, but I would check with Fiat

Thanks Gary for alerting us all here,

My chassis number happens to be right in the middle of the ones you mentioned. I am now going to arrange to have this done.

ATTENTION Recall 4995 is also for Face lifted Multipla, If you are in the sth yorkshire area contact 01709 365420 for you local fiat dealer, to have this recall carried out.

REMEMBER new multiplas are affected also................

Hi all,

I phoned Fiat and gave my registration number. It was confirmed that my Multi has got to go in first for an inspection, then possibly for the springs to be renewed.

I am waiting for the parts to arrive at Fiats newest dealer in Gloucester

anyone had this done yet?, if so did they re do the wheel alignment etc, as this would be out right??

I would guess changing the springs would mean the tracking etc would have to be checked

Whether Fiat would do it I don't know ? We all know they should !!!

Mine was an import and has been done!

As to tracking, some do some don't!

I had my tracking done by an independant today. Set back to zero toe from the 3mm toe out the dealer left it with.
