Fiat Recalls 500e Electric Cars Amid Headlight Safety Concerns
The Italian automaker has launched a recall campaign for its Fiat 500e city EVs following a headlight adjustment issue.
Fiat has announced a recall of its 2024–2025 500e electric city cars due to irregularities in the adjustment of the headlight system that fail to meet the strict standards of the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Administration.
The issue involves the precision of the headlight beam alignment, which could affect visibility and overall safety during nighttime driving. To address the problem, the automaker has developed a specific technical fix that includes installing protective caps to ensure the lights function correctly and comply with federal regulations.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed starting in December 2025. Fiat 500e drivers will be asked to visit authorized service centers for free repairs. The automaker emphasized that no accidents or injuries related to the issue have been reported and that the recall was initiated proactively to maintain safety compliance.
This situation underscores regulators’ growing focus on enforcing safety standards, even in seemingly minor components like lighting systems. Fiat noted that the swift response reflects the brand’s commitment to vehicle safety and quality assurance.
