ALFA ROMEO announced a problem with the 8C affecting a total of 7 vehicles.
It has been identified that, the front suspension arm ball joint retaining nuts may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may result in a metallic noise, a vibration through the steering wheel, and ultimately a loss of steering control. Vehicles built from 12/1/2007 to 5/31/2008 are at risk.
Recalled vehicles will have the ball joint nuts checked for tightness to the correct torque, and replaced if the former is not the case.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest ALFA ROMEO dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
