NHTSA campaign 16V243000

Tires › Pressure Monitoring And Regulating Systems

Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Reported Apr 26, 2016

What is recalled

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2016 Toureg vehicles manufactured July 7, 2015 to March 3, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may be improperly calibrated and, as a result, the TPMS may fail to warn the driver that the tire pressure is low. Additionally, the tire pressures printed on the Safety Certification labels are incorrect. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

Safety consequence

If the vehicle is driven on underinflated tires, the tires may fail suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Volkswagen has notified owners, and dealers will correct the TPMS settings and replace the safety certification label, free of charge. The recall began on May 13, 2016. Volkwagen's number for this recall is 44M9.
