Stellantis NV (STLA) fell 5.33% to $5.14 in morning trading on August 20, 2026, marking a fresh 52-week low. The decline followed a major recall announcement the previous day, in which the automaker recalled nearly a million vehicles worldwide due to a fault in rear-view camera software. The stock opened with a -2.9% gap down from the prior close and continued to slide throughout the session, reaching a low of $5.14.

What Happened

The stock's sharp drop was triggered by Stellantis's announcement of a recall affecting nearly one million vehicles globally. The company cited an issue with radio software that could disrupt rear-view camera functionality, raising concerns about product reliability and operational costs. The recall announcement pushed the stock to a 13-year low, as reported by Bloomberg. In addition, the stock was already trading near its 52-week low of $5.05, amplifying investor concerns. The move came amid broader industry headwinds, including ongoing trade uncertainty between the U.S. and Canada, which could impact North American auto production and margins.

What The Data Shows

The intraday session showed a weak start and continued downward momentum. The stock opened at $5.27, a -2.9% gap from the prior close of $5.43, and reached a session high of $5.28 at 7:00 AM ET before declining to $5.14 at 9:30 AM ET. Trading volume was 3.8 million shares, or 0.2 times the 3-month daily average, indicating limited participation. The stock has fallen 2.2% over the past 8 sessions, from $5.55 to $5.43. Meanwhile, the 52-week tape showed three fresh 52-week lows on August 20. Recent congressional trades included two buys and two sells by Donald J. Trump, with the most recent activity reported on July 1, 2026.

What To Watch

The next key event for Stellantis will be its upcoming quarterly earnings report, which is not yet scheduled. In the interim, investors will monitor coverage breadth and any updates on the recall's financial impact.
