The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the tires pressure monitoring and regulating systems. Here is what owners need to know.
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. Additionally, 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.
Take it to a dealer — they will correct the TPMS settings and replace the safety certification label, free of charge.
