Suspension, brakes, electronics and the rest of the car: they occur with any engine.
- High severityFrequency: OccasionalGearbox and clutchJerking, lock-ups and risk of early failure in the e-DCS6 hybrid gearboxYes: fiches-auto.fr documents that the e-DCS6 hybrid dual-clutch gearbox in the Fiat 600 can produce jerking and lock-ups, with cases of early failure, and several owners have reported transmission faults; the source itself notes that this recently introduced gearbox 'has yet to prove its reliability'.
- Critical severityFrequency: RareElectrical systemFire risk from water ingress into the 48 V belt-starter generator protection (built 2023-2025)Yes: a recall covers cars built between 28 July 2023 and 19 December 2025 in which insufficient clearance between the petrol particulate filter pipe and the protective cap of the 48 V starter-generator allows water in and can cause an electrical arc and a fire.
- Critical severityFrequency: RareSteeringPower steering motor with a crack that can lock the steering (built April-May 2024)A European campaign covers the Fiat 600 and 600e built in April-May 2024, in which a crack in the electric motor of the steering rack can release plastic pieces from the worm wheel and lock the steering.
- Medium severityFrequency: OccasionalElectronics and infotainmentInfotainment screen and driver-assistance sensor faults (pedestrian detection, camera, rear radar)Yes: two pages on fiches-auto.fr document central screen freezes, pedestrian detection warnings with no apparent cause, warning lights that come on without a clear explanation, and slow responses or loss of the camera and rear parking radar.
- Medium severityFrequency: RareElectronics and infotainmentRadio software that allows emergency braking and lane keeping to be switched off together (built March-April 2024)CarWiki lists a campaign under which, on Fiat 600s built from late March to early April 2024, a radio software fault allowed the emergency braking and lane keeping assistants to be switched off together.
