The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may not detect an air pressure loss in adequate time when deflating occurs among all four tires simultaneously.
If a sudden loss of pressure in all four tires goes undetected, the risk of a crash increases.
What to do
Dealers will update the TPMS software free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed near the end of December.
