Vehicles Affected: Approximately 400 model-year 2016 Volkswagen Toureg SUVs manufactured between July 7, 2015, and March 3, 2016
The Problem: The tire pressure monitoring system may be improperly calibrated and fail to warn the driver that the tire pressure is low. In addition, the tire pressures printed on the safety certification labels are incorrect. If the vehicle is driven on underinflated tires, the tires may fail suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will correct the TPMS settings and replace the safety certification label for free.
What Owners Should Do: Volkswagen began notifying owners May 13. Owners can call the automaker at 800-893-5298, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
