Known issues to check on a 2016 Fiat 500x
- 2.4L Tigershark Oil Consumption Customer Satisfaction Program (2016–2018)
FCA issued customer satisfaction notifications (not safety recalls) for possible excess oil consumption on some vehicles with the 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir engine, a group that includes certain 500X models along with the Jeep Renegade and Cherokee and Chrysler 200. The remedy involved a software update and, where needed, engine repairs. Applicability is VIN-specific.
What to do: On a 2016-2018 2.4L 500X, check the oil level and ask a dealer to confirm campaign status by VIN. - 9-Speed Automatic: Recall and Shift Quality (2016–2023)
Most 500Xs use a 9-speed automatic. Certain 2016 cars were part of a recall for transmission wiring crimps that could let the transmission unexpectedly shift to neutral, fixed with a software update (NHTSA 16V-529). Owners of FCA's 9-speed have also reported hesitant or abrupt shifts that dealers addressed with software updates.
What to do: Road-test in traffic and confirm recall and software updates are complete. - MultiAir and Turbo Engine Maintenance (2016–2023)
All 500X engines use Fiat's MultiAir variable intake-valve system, which relies on clean oil of the correct specification, and the 1.4L and 1.3L are turbocharged. On-time oil changes with the specified oil matter for long-term health.
What to do: Favor cars with documented on-time oil changes. - All-Wheel-Drive System and Tire Matching (2016–2023)
AWD was optional with the 2.4L (2016-2018) and standard from 2019. The system can disconnect the rear axle to save fuel; mismatched tires or neglected fluids can strain the power transfer unit and rear drive module.
What to do: Check that all four tires match and no AWD warnings appear.
Recall and campaign applicability varies by model year, production date, engine and VIN. Check the VIN for open recalls and completed remedies, and on 2.4L cars ask about the oil-consumption customer satisfaction program.
