Stellantis allows owners to request reimbursement for certain PureTech engine repairs paid for between 2022 and 2024, through a procedure that runs alongside initiatives launched by vehicle owners in several European countries. The program covers specific oil-consumption problems and timing-belt deterioration, with eligibility depending on the requirements set by the group.
The official platform reviews qualifying repairs carried out between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2024. Earlier generations of the 1.0 and 1.2-liter PureTech engines may also qualify for coverage of up to 10 years or 180,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, potentially including the full cost of parts and labor for eligible repairs.

Stellantis uses the supporting documents to verify maintenance history, diagnosis and repair expenses. The reimbursement procedure requires owners to have completed diagnosis and repairs through the authorized Stellantis network and to have followed the prescribed maintenance schedule. Applicants must provide the three most recent service invoices or a service booklet stamped by the authorized network.
