Data refreshed
Our database contains 2 NHTSA owner-reported complaints for the 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C, most frequently naming the airbags and electrical categories. 76 manufacturer communications are on file.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.
When owners filed reports about this model year
Not enough dated records to plot a meaningful trend — 2 months of data.
Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
This vehicle is past the basic warranty and the dashboard cover has shrunk and is covering part of the passenger side air bag. I expect that the cover will continue to shrink and cover more of the air bag.
THE "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE TAKES OVER THE DISPLAY EVERY 3 MINUTES NO MATTER WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING WITH THE VEHICLE. IT ALWAYS INCREASES THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DISPLAY TO MAXIMUM AND THE INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE PERSISTS FOR 10 SECONDS. 1. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE MESSAGE CAN OVERRIDE THE REVERSE OBSTACLE SENSORS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I TESTED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN MOVING AND ALL INFORMATION FROM THE SENSORS WOULD HAVE BEEN OCCLUDED. 2. WHILE DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD AT NIGHT, THE SUDDEN FULL-BRIGHTNESS DISPLAY OF THE "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE CREATES A DISTRACTION THAT COULD EASILY BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH AVERAGE NIGHT VISION. THERE IS NO KNOWN WAY FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO CHANGE THIS INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE DISPLAY OR DISABLE IT.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
