Historically, the downfall of many Alfa Romeo models has been reliability, but so far the Giulia hasn't had a bad run. The J.D. Power rating for 2019 was a good 76 out of 100 overall and 75 for quality and reliability. More recent years have not been rated. That's not far off the 2020 BMW 3 Series, which scored 79 and 77, respectively. As for recalls, there was one in 2020 for rear brake discs that may fracture, causing a loss in braking performance and one for the 2021 model for the possible loss of braking assistance and ABS functionality.
