The systems in 303 SRT8 versions of the 2012 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger don’t warn drivers when tire pressure falls 25% below the recommended level. The affected vehicles notify drivers when the pressure reaches 22 pounds per square inch instead of the required 24 psi. Underinflated tires could result in tire overloading and overheating, leading to a possible blowout or crash.
Vehicles in the recall were manufactured from May 2 through Nov. 17, 2011. (You can find the vehicle’s build date on a label affixed to the driver-side doorjamb.) Dealers will reprogram the TPMS for free. Owners will be notified next month. For more info, owners can call Chrysler at 800-853-1403 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236.
