NHTSA Campaign: 16V243000 SAFETY RECALL
366 Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Apr 26, 2016
Safety Issue:

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.

Potential Risk:
If the vehicle is driven on underinflated tires, the tires may fail suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
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.
