NHTSA recall 08V166000
Tires · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and the limo builders package for failing to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 138, z"tire pressure monitoring systems." The tire pressure was increased from 35 psi to 40 psi without a commensurate update to the TPMS calibrations.
Why it matters: The TPMS indicator light will not illuminate when a tire pressure is is 25% below the 40 psi value stated on the tire placard label occurs.
The fix: Dealers will reconfigure the TPMS thresholds to the appropriate pressures. The recall began on April 23, 2008.
