What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles…

Why it matters: If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS module with new software, free of charge. The recall began on December 8, 2014.
