Fiat passenger car brake pedals may disengage or have low stiffness after impact

Country of origin	Italy
Manufacturer	Fiat
Models affected	500 X
Defect	An impact on the brake pedals can cause the pedal arm and the brake pedal lever to disengage. Moreover, the unlocking lever has a low stiffness due to variations in clamping force and friction. Both these reasons can lead the brake pedals to collapse during braking, preventing the driver from activating the service brakes. This could impair the braking performance, increasing the risk of an accident.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
