2021 Ducato cam belt recall

[DavidG58]

Youngest daughter just had an odd interaction with Fiat

They bought a new Ducato in 2021 to have converted to their own camper spec

It was due a service which she booked on line at £500 ish, the booking ‘system’ tried to get them to have a cam belt change which was declined by her at 12K miles and not quite 3 years old

All booked , email confirmation told her there was a recall on the van, it will be given a new cam belt

She is as cynical as me and wonders if she had agreed to have it done at her cost would they have said anything

If there had been a general recall for Ducato cam belts on 2021 vehicles I would have expected it to have been reported on here before now. I would check this with a reliable Fiat Professional such as Adams Morey, Portsmouth. You will get an honest answer from them, probably need the VIN number.

The recall may have been for a not very popular version of the engine and/or a small batch of VIN numbers.

I doubt whether the garage would have done it for free if Fiat wee not paying for a recall.

I bought my used 2007 Ducato back in 2017 and, as I was not sure of it's previous history, I contacted Fiat in Italy and asked about factory recalls.
They very kindly furnished this information.
Sorry cannot remember which department but I think it was Fiat Assist?

PS. Yes I had to register and give VIN number.
