The vehicle systems named most often in Alfa Romeo 4C complaints (one complaint can name several).
In the owners’ own words, as filed with NHTSA. Unverified reports; NHTSA removes personal details before publishing.
The contact owns a 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, she noticed smoke coming from underneath the front hood. The contact's wife was able to safely drive the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. The contact's wife opened the hood, and then the fire was visible from the engine. The contact's wife had a fire extinguisher in the trunk of the vehicle, so the contact's wife and two nearby drivers extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,116.

No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
