NHTSA recall 15V514000
Tires · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: 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. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 138, "tire pressure monitoring systems."
Why it matters: If the vehicle is driven on underinflated tires, the tires may fail. Sudden tire failure increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Set will notify owners, and dealers will re-calibrate the TPMS, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2015.
