Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 20 Stelvio vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 8 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

Real-world fuel consumption
19,344 Alfa Romeo Stelvio cars and vans registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Diesel versions average 7.4 l/100 km on the road, against 6.0 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 24% more.
| Fuel | Vehicles | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 1,791 | 11.1 | 9.0 | +23% |

EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Stelvio in 10 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The vehicle can have incorrectly fitted brake casing. This can lead to a braking system malfunction, whereby the vehicle can only be stopped using the hand brake. This increases the risk of accident and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation…
Due to a manufacturing defect, the integrated fuel pressure and temperature sensor in the vehicles concerned may impact the fuel supply line. This may result in fuel leakage, increasing the risk of fire in the engine compartment. The product does not comply wi…
The IBS (integrated brake system) module may be defective. This may cause a failure of the ABS (anti-lock braking system), increasing the risk of an accident.
The rear brake discs may have material defects.This may lead to reduced braking performance, increasing the risk of an accident.
The cruise control software may be faulty. This may cause unintended acceleration, resulting in an accident.
The seat guides may be inadequate and the seats may be wrongly positioned. As a result the seats could become detached in motion, increasing the risk of an accident.
An engine cooling line may become detached. This could impair driving safety.
A non-compliant generator cable may be damaged as a result of contact with the exhaust gas recirculation line. This could cause a short-circuit and in the worst case fire in the engine compartment.
Water may enter the vehicle electrics. As a consequence, various electrical functions may fail.
The brake and clutch fluid contain mineral oil and may as a consequence damage certain components of the braking system and the clutch. As a result the braking and clutch systems may fail.
