Yes, the 2012 Fiat 500 with the 1.4L engine uses a timing belt. Since this engine is an interference engine, a broken timing belt can lead to significant engine damage. The recommended replacement interval for the timing belt is every 90,000 miles to avoid any potential issues.
It's essential to follow the maintenance schedule closely, and if you're comfortable doing so, using a repair manual can help you replace the belt yourself to save on labor costs.
